Stephanie Hodgin - Pitching Public Art

Our group presented the 'Of Treasures and Tunes' project in which we had basins of water in the shape of an 'X' on the Butler Mall, from which shot water to and from these basins. When the water hit the basins, a tune was played that could be heard from around campus. I thought we did a great job presenting and being persuasive. I think a little more preparation would have prevented repeating of information, or the forgetting of information (we left out the materials we would use to make our project), that may have added a persuasive appeal to our argument.

The other groups in class did a really great job presenting; all of them seemed to have at least one reason why I thought they should definitely have a spot on campus, which made it difficult to vote at the end for a single proposal. I was really excited about the bridge project because the group explained where they got their influence for their project, which was an interesting angle to see the background planning that it took to come up with the idea. I also thought the fountain outside of Clowes was a great presentation because they truly took time to plan the materials they were going to use and took into account the cost of the production. Overall, I was surprised to see the different ideas our class members came up with!
