Artwork on campus
Artwork on campus
Having more public art on campus would allow for more gathering spaces for the community and would create more visibility of the arts on campus.
Student artwork
Student artwork
Displaying more student artwork on campus would help highlight the art department and give space for representation of the students of St. Kate's.
Acknowledge the land
Acknowledge the land
One goal we have is to create a land acknowledgement as part of our artwork because St. Kate's does not currently have anywhere on campus acknowledging that we are on Dakota land.
Reconnect the the Fine Art buildings
Reconnect the the Fine Art buildings
Our main focus for this project was to help reconnect the two fine art buildings on campus through public art, a walk way, or collaborations between the two buildings.
Flag Placements
Flag Placements
During the Summer of 2021 we created our first installation of our path for the Summer Scholars final presentation and received feedback by having community members place flags where they thought more art should go along the path.
Path Tracings
Path Tracings
As a way to choose which path design we should create we had community member trace the ones they like best onto archival polyester film paper to see which one got the most layers.
Working with Students
Working with Students
We worked with two classes in the Fall of 2021 to create another installation of the path and received feedback about their experience and what they think of the path and our project.
Establishing a Link
Establishing a Link
At the end of the summer we decided to use the ceramic clay portraits made by students in 3D Design classes between 2015-20 at St. Catherine University (mostly non art majors) to create a visual anchor connecting the two buildings. The ceramic heads were previously displayed within the Visual Art building's staircases that were visible through the large windows along the stair cases. They were then removed for safety issues, hidden within the building.
