Castle Made of Sand- Rachel Brown

The public art piece that I propose to do is a castle mural of one of the buildings on the Mira Costa campus. This will add a whimsical feeling to any building, and hopefully even transport students to another place, away from the hustle, bustle, and stress of campus life.

For this project I was influenced by several of the artists who did public art on the UCSD campus, especially those with a more fanciful quality, such as Barbara Kruger.

This mural will make campus a better place because it will provide pleasant distraction from the monotonous and drab architecture of campus. This proposal should win the public art competition because is both an aesthetic escape from bland buildings of campus and a diversion from the sometimes stressful life of a Mira Costa student.
