Mock Public Art Project

I want to create an abstract art piece. Something with mostly smooth, curved lines that is unique and well received. I want my sculpture to convey harmony, peace, and growth. And give the viewer feelings such as happiness, inspiration, and motivation. I am not sure of the location yet however, the two places I have in mind are by Tatnall Square park, or by Washington park.

This first image really conveys harmony to me. I can even picture it with the top of the sculpture forming into the shape of a heart. I would like to create something that has structure but is also very soft.

I like the intricate simplicity of this sculpture. It signifies growth and beauty to me and those are also elements I want to incorporate in my sculpture.

Public Artwork

Scrapture of Liberty

Egg Harbor City, NJ

The Art of Car Repair

This interesting sculpture was made entirely out of scrap parts and metal garbage and it's supposed to resemble the Statue of Liberty. It is fittingly located outside of Peterson's Garage, an auto repair business, and was built by owner, sculptor, and mechanic Tom Peterson in 2007. Unlike the Statue of Liberty in New York, this sculpture is not made out of pure copper and doesn't stand 151 ft tall. This sculpture appears to use a lot of wheels, carts, and sheet metal. This actually could be used as another example of form vs. content. Both statues share similar form but the materials used to make the sculpture are different.

Form vs. Content

Same Form, Different Content

Czech liquor bench ad, "Get Closer."

IKEA bench ad "A little fabric goes a long way."

Slim Fast bench ad

Kit Kat bench ad

All of these advertisements use a bench in different creative ways to convey a specific message about their product to consumers. The first ad is a liquor advertisement, their slogan is that their alcohol brings people closer so, they designed a bench to do just that. The second ad is for IKEA which showcases a very stylish use of their fabric which can make dingy furniture much more appealing. The third ad is from Slim Fast which is essentially a 'skinny' bench, and the goal of their product to make one lose weight. The last ad is from Kit Kat which makes the bench look like candy by painting it a milk chocolate color and making it look smooth. It's important this bench stays clean so that their product still looks appealing enough to eat.
