T.J. Sansone - Pitching Public Art

Our presentation went very well! Although we had not all met before this class, we really 'clicked' while working as a group and settled on an idea quite quickly. Using the cross-sections of a basketball to form a structure became the main theme after our initial brain-storming session, and from there, we moved on to discussing and settling on the features that the structure would contain, as well as the overall appearance. Looking back, we could have spent more time coming up with ideas before settling on a theme, although it all worked out great in the end!

As for the other groups, I like the range of ideas that the class came up with. Every group thought outside of the box and proposed interesting projects--any one of which would be an outstanding addition to Butler's campus. I was persuaded by the Bridge Project in particular, since I agreed that the Butler section of the canal was lacking in scenery and a glass bridge would really liven up the area. I believe that my group was persuasive as well, since every student needs a peaceful, scenic place to visit every now and then, which is exactly what our project offered, in addition to providing a social atmosphere.
