Two classes of Design 1 (art 101) make up the seven teams that will be working on the project. Updates to each teams activities will be about every week from October 13th through November 15th.
The Art Bench project is an event of Arts Alive SDSU, which is part of the larger creative and research component of University strategic plan "Building on Success." The first development of the art benches were implemented by professor Patricia Cue in her Environmental graphics class as part of the Graphic Design program in Spring 2014.
As the instructor for the foundations course Design 1, I have taken on the project with my class for the Fall 2014 semester. Eight historic WPA benches from the late 1930's have been selected for the project. The benches have been restored by plant facilities to near original condition. Our job is to create interactive compelling visual art on these historic benches in the original historic core of campus.
Please feel free to visit the campus anytime to watch the progress and to enjoy the benches when they are finished.
