College Hill Corridor

I have to admit, at first I had no idea what the College Hill Corridor was. Little did I know, it's practically Mercer's backyard!

So I have to choose an area where I would like to put a creative piece of Public Art. I've thought about it some and I think I'm going to either choose the area by Jittery Joe's, Francar's, and the water fountain. Or I may go for a more naturalistic approach and choose a spot near Tattnall Square Park.

Whichever area I ultimately choose, I'm going to make my Public Art into something that is cohesive with the backdrop. I think this is going to be a great project. I can't wait to get started and see where my creativity takes me!

A Pig Plane!

So I thought this was the perfect piece of public art because it combines two of my favorite things: pigs and planes!

I thought this was really cute and I love how the artist was able to blend the plane and pig in a synergistic way. Overall, I think the artist did a great job. I'm not sure where this pig is located, but if I were to choose a place to put it, it would definately be the airport. What about you?

Form vs. Content

I chose just one photo. This happens to be an advertisement for Kayaking Jumbo Peanuts. Form is defined as how an artist choses to get their point across, whereas content is described as what the artist tries to get the audience to understand.

In this particular ad, one can see that the point the artist is trying to relay to the audience is that the Kayaking Jumbo Peanuts are the largest. This represents the content of the ad. Now, from my knowledge, just about everyone knows that elephants love to eat peanuts. So, the way the artist chooses to relay the message that this company has the largest peanuts is by showing one elephant helping another elephant who is choking on the Kayaking Jumbo Peanuts. By using elephants in the ad, the audience can not only relay the message that these are the largest peanuts (Content) but, also creatively display that message (Form).
