Our group decided to use CD's for this installation assignment, inspired by Alexander Calder. The purpose of this mobile is to give off a bright, pleasant feeling when you are in the front foyer. The process of putting this together was simple, but took some time. We began with painting the blank, boring sides of the CD's with acrylic paint and transforming them to flowers, and left the other side so it would reflect light from the top windows in the foyer. From the photos to the left, the colour scheme is cool colours on the left and left of the middle three, warm colours on the right and right of the middle three, and the very middle column is mixed. Physically putting it together was challenge to balance the sides equally. We used fulcrums to hang the CD's in separate lines, and used lots of knots and glue to keep everything stable and in place. The very middle column originally had 7 CD's, while the other ones had 6 to make it the focal point. Our mobile turned out different than we planned, but we still had very good results that communicated joyous & good vibes that is very kinetic.
Kristina, you did an excellent job using art vocabulary in this reflection. I was impressed with how well your group worked together. It seemed that everyone took on an equal share of the task and you all had the same vision. I agree that the end result was very successful. Super effort.
