Getting ready for my December Review

I have been chugging along and I feel like I am learning more each week and getting closer to finding out how to execute my final project.

The past week I have stayed in one specific site where I am creating a few projects. It happens to be outside of my apartment, where trash accumulates often.

Here are some images of what my latest projects have been...

view from the sidewalk

view from inside my apartment

chalk arm underneath the face

throwing away a paper plate (many accumulate around this pizza place area)

sad face made from trash

from far away it just looks like plain litter

but from the right angles and when you get closer, you are more able to see the face.

With these experiments around my apartment, I have been trying to create a few ways to intervene with the people surrounding it. Many people walk by here everyday and see the litter and think nothing of it, or they are the people actually littering up the sidewalk. I am trying to think of creative ways in which people will actually stop and think about their actions that they do everyday. I want my projects to make sense, but I want them to be intriguing enough that it actually makes them think about it, and then ultimately stop littering in this area.

I think I am getting closer to combing my ideas into a cohesive project, but I don't think it is quite where I want it to be. I want my projects to be more in-your-face, but right now, they're not quite there. Hopefully after December Review, I can get a little more help with actualizing my idea.
