I'd have to say my best creative work would be my HSC Major Work for Visual Arts last year. Here's a photo of it on the night of my school's Year 12 Art Exhibition.

| Rhapsody In Colour Acrylic on canvas, 4 panels, spanning roughly 6^2 metres in total |
I've been told to provide a paragraph on how it's interesting.
This artwork was inspired by the literary works of Arthur O'Shaughnessy, primarily the opening lines of his poem Ode from the collection Moonlight and Music.
We are the music-makers
and we are the dreamers of dreams
Taking this, I sought to create an artwork that was an infusion of the two most influential factors in my life: music, and my friends. For this artwork, I went to go see my friends perform at live performances - at a dinner party, an underground club, or performing at the local bar, and even busking in Central Station. Each panel showcases a particular art style which is supposed to encapsulate a musical personality [the scholar, the entertainer, the prima donna and the vagabond] and a musical genre [classical, electronic dance, soul, and folk/indie]. Each art piece similarly corresponds with a piece of music that is extremely important/powerful to me.
If you're interested, the song list is here:
Panel 1 - Raindrop Prelude by Frederic Chopin
Panel 2 - City Of Dreams by Alesso & Dirty South
Panel 3 - Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine
Panel 4 - I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons
