For this street assignment I really wanted to make an interactive piece. The goal was to take things that seemed ordinary and make it into something playful. I noticed that during my walk I cared less about the buildings and more about my immediate surroundings. I've been the type to notice odd things like the way paint chips off a fire hydrant. I was looking for a way to connect the viewer to a similar way of thinking. I realized that I became inspired to do this from a child's perspective because of a project I was working on in my Photography class. The assignment in the photography class was to create a new character and I thought it would be fun to be a child.
I believe in the end this project was more of a stepping stone for something greater. I wanted people of all ages to be able to play but the size of my piece didn't allow that interaction. I plan on changing the scale of these pieces to make them more accessible for adults. I would also like to create an environment that would create a sense of childlike curiosity.
