My biggest idea is to make a large-scale \u201cLite Brite\u201d board and recreate a famous piece of artwork relating to light. As of right now, I think a spin on \u201cStarry Night\u201d by Van Gogh would be visually most interesting and would have great contrast. I chose this idea because I was thinking back to the earliest memories I have of being amazed by light. These memories largely revolved around playing with a Lite Brite for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lite brite board is simply a peg board with a backlight, and the holes can be filled with transparent colored pegs. When the backlight is turned on, the light takes on the color of the pegs and the image or design can be seen. Because I would want my artwork to be bigger than a 12\u201dx12\u201d square, I would be designing the board from scratch. I will do this by using the laser cutter in Unity or Innovation Studies to cut a sheet of plywood or polycarbonate. I then will either purchase different lightbulbs or \u201cpegs\u201d and get to designing. My backlight will be a series of LED strips arranged on another board to provide even light across the big surface.\u00a0

I still am unsure about a \u201ctheme\u201d or overall \u201cmessage\u201d my artwork would describe besides just relating to my enjoyment with this toy as a kid. A preliminary idea I have is to make the artwork 3D in some way compared to just the flat sheet. I would either do this by designing a board that had multiple sides, or get creative with some of the \u201cpegs\u201d and use other objects or materials.\u00a0

Any photo I use I will reduce the resolution to see the main color in each section and work from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does anyone have experience with the laser cutter? If so do you foresee any issues id have with designing a peg orientation and having the laser cutter cut the peg holes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What other materials or objects could I use to cover\/fill the holes to add a different layer of texture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
