I'm proposing a mural of aquatic life as a sort of Eco-friendly reminder
to all that our earth is precious and all of earth's creatures are just as
precious. With the notion of living ecologically friendly and being mindful of
the big beautiful planet we live on gaining momentum as a social and scientific
movement, i thought it would be great way to commemorate our planet and remind
students and staff to be as environment friendly as they can be, at the very
least while visiting the Mesa Campus. When we can learn to take care of our
immediate environments, we can begin to look at the bigger picture and
implement good habits globally to help sustain and maintain all of the life
that cohabits the earth with us, including our animal/underwater friends. The
artists that most influenced my mural idea are the members of the Agents of
Change crew and their graffiti mural in London. What I took from this piece of
art was the use of bright, lively colors and a surface area that spans
vertically, versus the often seen horizontally spanning murals. The use of
bright colors will catch a person’s eye, and hopefully drive home the ideas of
eco-awareness that are being conveyed.

This was a great idea and well done. One of my favorites so far. Using the fish allows you to hit lots of blank areas on a huge wall without having to cover every inch off the building with one contiguous picture. Then using the Vanishing Point filter on some of the fish adds just the right touch of interest.

It catches my eye and is well done. I have lived by the ocean for 50 years and I respect earth's creatures as well as our water dwelling neighbors. I like the bright colors and the way you have placed them because it causes one to glance from one spot to another.

So I see we have similar taste! I also did my mural involving the ocean. You did a really good job and I love the fish you chose and how you displayed them scattered around on the building. It looks really great!

So pretty! I love that you used very large space for this piece of art. The fish look like you actually drew them, you did an awesome job! -Abigail Argonza
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy how you separated the fish into different segments giving the feeling as if the building is alive with motion and life. -Chris Boyer
ReplyDeleteAs an aquarium owner, I like your fish placement on the building. They are appropriately spaced and appear to be swimming around. I can only fault you for forgetting to add a "water" (blue background) layer.

This is really cool. It would be great to see lovely art like this painted on buildings. It makes it more interesting and wonderful to look at. Great job!

I love how the fish are done in your proposal. The concept seems a little playful but still gets a subtle ecology message across.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to cover the entire building with fish, great job at fitting your image to the building!

Cool, simple concept. Would have been great to see some color fill in the empty space. I like the use of the plant that carries the eye to the top of the building.

I like the vertical nature of it all.I can imagine thousands of years ago and this spot being an aquatic habitat.COOL! I like how you left the majority of the mural wall's in their natural state-Tim Pipes
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot. The sky makes it seem as if we are in a giant fish tank with the layout of your work here. It is very playful as well. good work! -Va Merritt
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty mural.

Your mural reminds me of the aquarium at Sea World because of the fishes.
