Title: Colorful Story

Artist: Gabriella Reilly

Fitness Principles: Decide, Consistency, Teammates, Variety, Zones

Description: I used to be very interested in digital art and creating this piece was a way for me to step back into that space. I took a few digital art classes in high school and college but never continued it after my last class. I’ve always wanted to spend time creating and felt this was a perfect opportunity to get inspired and open that door. I was also heavily encouraged by two of my good friends who are art majors as they are always creating and allowing me to follow along their process.

21 Fitness Principles Description: The first principle that resonates with this piece is decide. The three arches to the bottom show the experiences of inner voice, more will be revealed, and life happens as defined in the 21 Fitness Principles book. One needs to ultimately choose there is a need for change and commit to that. This brings me into the next principle of consistency. As seen in the white dots “climbing up” towards ones ultimate goal, displayed as the NHFL symbol. These white dots are not in a straight line showing that variety of approaches are required to achieve this. I also chose to highlight the rainbow within the NHFL symbol throughout this piece. This represents teammates as everyone is different going down their own path, made easier with the needed support of those around you. The final white dot is in the middle as this community works together to inspire and motivate eachother to accomplish goals and live a fit and quality life. Although there are more than four colors the abstract can also be interpreted as zones. These different colors may represent comfort, fear, learning, and growth all necessary to achieve goals and appreciate the journey.
