The color scheme of my piece is triadic because I use blue, red and a gold (yellowish) color. These colors form a triangle on the color wheel. I also used the sparkles to add some texture to the piece. It also adds a contrast to the other side of the piece that has more of a definite shape. There is a rectangle on one side and then the rainbow piece in the middle helps split it up. On the other side are different types of shapes. Then I added ink over top of all of this. I added splattered the black ink over top of one side of the piece. This gives it a more rustic feel for the work. It also makes it a little more modern and makes the piece more postmodern because it becomes more confusing.
The quote that I used for my piece is "You are born modern, you do not become so." The first thing that came to me were images of different celebrities. Some that were modern celebrities and others that are older but have made an impact on us as a society. They are the ideal "beautiful modern" people. The connotative meaning of this piece is that it makes you feel a little confused and that there are two sides to everything. The ideological meaning of this piece is that maybe being a celebrity isn't all sparkling and shiny as it seems. The black spots over the gold piece makes it tone the gold down a little bit and adds some confusion over top of the piece. There are two sides to being a celebrity. One side is the bright side and the good things that come out of it. The other side is that part of the glitz and the glamour but that it is not all that it seems to be, and sometimes can affect a person in a way that others don't realize. We see the celebrities most of the time happy and looking their best, when in reality that is not always the case.
