Establishing Our Premise

In order to establish a functional package, we need to find the common denominator between all of the vastly different people we have at the school, something that can connect with the audience and all of its different elements.

When I think about the artists I see every day, and when I think about art in general, I feel that we all strive for the best, and that the best is always what is awarded, whether it be with money, awards, or just recognition.

The way I see it, the shared aspirations of our artistic generation come to be fame, recognition, legacy, originality, leaders, influence, people want to do what they love and make a living from it, they want awards, a successful job, to start their own business. Characteristics are intuitive, open, illogical, free, artistic, thinking, subjective, fast, energetic, we are appealing to both fine artists AND design students, they are funny and humorous and are more liberal than the previous generation. The most essential and basic commonality I feel is the desire to be better, better than you are currently as well as better than everyone else.

It is this strive to be better that I am going to base my concept off of, we are here to learn and build upon ourselves as artists and people. We are given lessons and new material and fresh perspectives from a variety of sources. We forge new paths and destroy old ones. We create and experiment and it is this essential concept that I want to elaborate upon.
