what do i hope to do in this project?
As I mentioned before, public art is a way to express how we interact with people, our ideas, values, what we are aware of, our assumptions and so on. It is also a way to use space, re use broken or damaged objects and sharing a message with every person who wishes to see it.
What I wish to do during this project is to create a more welcoming image in boarding school. BBIS always works on transforming its campus and welcoming new people who come from all over the world. Its boarding school has been restyled. Now at the entrance a huge globe has been hung up. Hand shaped metal pieces form the continents of the globe, representing how our BBIS community is formed by a large variety of countries. This is how the boarding school's entrance looks like at the moment:

The globe occupies a lot of space and decorates the room, still the room remains cold. What I want to project with my idea is how we interact in an environment where people do not come from the same place as we do. Also how speaking a universal language can create boundaries. The technique for my idea would be using bright colors and having a bit of sense of humor.
Rainbow showers.
This is street art from Norway, it was done with spray paint and it includes mixed media and its location is Svartlamoen, Trondheim.

My inspiration came from this photograph which shows a young kid enjoying the colorful rain and a grown up man who is annoyed by it. Somehow it represents how as we grow older we tend to forget what really matters in life, the importance of being happy and enjoying moments or unexpected events. Hard work, stress, anxiety and many negative factors guide us to a different way of projecting who we are and what we feel. For instance, this kid does not have an umbrella. It is possible to wonder why he is not sad. It is because he pictures that moment as an opportunity to play in the rain. Meanwhile the man who does have an umbrella sees rain as an inconvenient.
my idea.
I want to design a painting that would be located in the walls of the boarding school's entrance. The painting is meant to be colorful, creative and should show a message of how

This is a sketch that I made. What I want to do is overlap the colorful world with my sketch.

The image below gives us an idea of what I want to choose as my final idea. Using "photoshop" I will crop the drawings and place them below the globe.
Final Product
This is my final product. What I want to express with this idea is how being in an international school and boarding school influences us. Since we get to interact every day with people who have different cultures, new ideas, expectations and ways of being are introduced to us. The flags represent the small bits of each country's culture that we adopt. It is what later on allows us to be more respectful, tolerant and open minded.
