Thought: A Senior Explorations Amplified Piece by Nicolas Fricker (2014)

I created a scattered saxophone, to represent a thought coming together. I used watercolors to create the music flowing outwards. This represents the flow of the thought coming together. All the different colors represent all the different creative combination of creating a thought or in this case music. In the top right corner, a kaleidoscope which can be a visual representation of a thought in harmony with its outcome which creates the repetitive patterns arranged in a circle.

First I painted a saxophone and bubbles coming out of it. Then I scanned it and imported it into Photoshop where I superposed watercolors onto the sax. I created a splatter effect with different paint brushes. The use of a plugin (script) allowed me to create the Kaleidoscope by rotating and blending a watercolor image. The font use is SketchyComic and the quote comes from Norman Beale. I created a basic background by filling it black and adding two large brushes of blue and yellow onto the corners.
