Micro Project 4

My "spot" on campus is one that always seems to get me thinking. I love walking by this spot because it's a unique part of campus. It's right next to the oval and across from the Union. It also leads to Mirror Lake! It's a lot more peaceful than the oval (usually unless there is construction), and it's a fun little spot. There is shade, lot's of trees, benches, flowers and this wonderful piece of artwork. I love how someone did this piece in the tree. To me it kind of reminds me of an eye and how cool is that! I find so much wonder in it. It is beautiful and gets me thinking. Who did it? Why? When? What was the purpose? It also causes me to use my imagination including the piece and the surroundings. I just love it. It's like a little magical place on campus where, I feel, you can use your imagination to have creative thoughts. A lot of times now a days we don't really go back to kiddish ways, but this is one place on campus I feel comfortable doing that. I just all around love it and the cleverness of it. I picked Wayfarer sunglasses (I believe they are usually called this) for a few reasons. I was on Pinterest and I saw a picture of these. I loved the style of them and realized they were a lot of money, but they still initially attracted me nonetheless. I just like the style of them and I really wanted to play with my idea that this piece in the tree is an eye. By using my personal style and the combination of my imagination I wanted to create life-size glasses. I feel this would make people stop, look and think about the area and the piece itself. It might even make some people laugh. I feel it would draw people in to explore the whole piece including the glasses. Maybe have them touch it or climb on it. Just fun things would come from it. It would be for all ages and might even allow the adults to get to explore their imagination and life in a different way. Then glasses give us a new prospective on things, so I thought it could figuratively cause people to be curious and just think about things/the area a little differently. I would use some sort of metal/plastic/glass to create this. I don't want it to break easily or rust. Also if the lenses could stay pretty much clear that would complete the piece.
