Rachel Heck - Pitching Public Art

I think my group's presentation went pretty well. We thoroughly explained the meaning of every aspect of our "X"-shaped, musical fountain, but we did forget to mention the materials we had considered using to make the structure. I think our group could have been more persuasive if we had created a more organized way of presenting our argument. This would have greatly diminished our repetition of persuasive points.

All of the groups did an outstanding job explaining their ideas to the class. Any of these projects would positively add to Butler's campus. However, I thought the groups who proposed the bridge project and the fountain that would go in front of Clowes Hall did a really good job presenting. They both had incredible and detailed visuals for their project. I was definitely persuaded by the group who proposed the bridge project because of where they got their idea for the structure of the bridge and the idea for the light show. That interesting background information from a personal visit to Europe added credibility to the project and greatly enhanced the presentation. All of these things considered persuaded me that they had a really neat idea that would not only be useful on the Butler campus, but also fun and exciting.
