INSTALLATION ART is a work of art that is designed for a specific public location. The design of the work takes into consideration not only the features of the location in terms of factors such as furnishings or lighting, but also in terms of how the space is used by the public. One of the requirements for this course is to undertake a public art installation.
The main foyer of our school is a high traffic area that has excellent potential for an art installation. The high ceiling and vast amount of natural light from the skylights seem to invite the hanging of artistic works.
This image above shows a mobile that was designed for an Apple Computer store. It consists of cardboard plaques bearing icons representing the various APPS that the computers offer. Our mission is to adapt this concept to create a mobile for the main foyer of our school. We could work on one large piece that everyone contributes to, or we could break into smaller groups. Whichever organization we choose will impact the work in that the design must have some common theme to unify it. Achieving this while allowing for maximum creative freedom might demand that we break into smaller groups.
THE THEME needs to be relevant and appropriate for a secondary school setting. Your task is to think about what might work. We need a theme that can be represented through drawing digital images and that will make a meaningful contribution to the school community.
