modern art and music-eric jimenez





I was inspired by Jackie Ferrara from the Stuart collection. She emerged in the seventies and by using the forms and materials usually associated with architecture in order to enrich the definition of sculpture and challenge the assumptions and conventions of the typical built environment, I propose that by associating the art and music building with a mural of jazz players and a violin with music notes that it will inspire students to join and display both their music and art abilities and talents. I think it will make the campus a better place by providing visual inspiration. -Eric Jimenez

  5. Nice job. Both images work for the music building, but it may look stronger with one or the other as the images seem to compete.

  6. I like the simple yet artistic approach to the two images for this wall. I like how its not overwhelming.

  7. I love the jazz silhouettes! I think the blend between Jazz and Classical is a neat idea, but the pictures don't seem to work well one on top of the other. Maybe it would be better if they were put side by side or on two different walls in the same area?

  8. I like your choice of jazz silhouettes. It's simple, but says a lot for the history of music.
