Abstract

     My abstract piece is based off the famous book and book series "Harry Potter". There is a famous symbol from the Harry Potter series that I took inspiration from and I wanted to make a circle tray. This is what the symbol looks like.

So what I did with the tray was I rolled out a piece of slab and I used a circle tracer and I used a pen tool to cut around the circle. My original idea was to make the triangle on the inside and the circle on the outside and that is what the circle base is for. But I just stuck with the original idea and for the triangle I used a pen tool to trace the triangle. Once I traced the triangle then I actually drew it in, and then I drew the circle inside the traingle. And to take up the negative space I added a quote from the series, " I solemny swear that I am up to no good" but since the triangle took up most of the room I had to shorten the quote to say "I am up to no good". 

This abstract piece has the principals of emphasis, because of how the piece focuses on the triangle in the center and it also shows movement because of how the piece makes your eyes look at the quote then at the center. I am proud of this piece because I threw it all together last minute and there might be some rough edges but I like how it was made and detailed.
