Following the lead of Alexis Smith, the innovative artist who slithered a snake onto an existing path at UCSD for the Stuart Collection, I propose that the drinking fountains at Mira Costa College become resting spots for kaleidoscopes of butterflies. Each drinking fountain would host a different brightly colored species native to California, beginning with the glorious Monarch butterfly shown in my example. This would be a relatively easy and inexpensive way of brightening our drab campus.

i think it is a good proposal because it gives it a non stressful feel as if you were in a park instead of a school dealing with the pressure of school work. very nice job.

ReplyDeleteI like how you played of local nature. I also like that these butterflies might fool people who weren't looking too closely. Always keeping fountain drinkers on their toes!

Great idea. I think it would be fun going to each waterfountain and figuring out what the different species are. - Youness
ReplyDeleteI like how you placed the butterflies, it provides a sense of movement. I also like the subtle inclusion next to the fountain.

Good way to think outside the box. Most people use walls but you used this fountain. The butterflies are a good contrast to the rock texture of the fountain. Nice job.

I love your idea! it's simple to do, yet really gives a nice feel to the area.

I like how you put the one butterfly on the top where the water comes out. It almost seems like it's trying to get a drink as well.

This one is really cool we could use something like this on campus.

Cool idea! Love your way of decorating the fountain with the beauty of nature. I would definitely drink out of that fountain.
