Proposal

In Module 1, when working with appropriation I created the piece below. I wanted to mimic Banksy's style, and I felt like I was fairly successful. However, in the critique that I received, I was told that although it was clear that I had a well-made final piece, it did not have the same "satisfying, biting wit that you find in an original Banksy." 

With this project, I want to improve on exactly that aspect by creating something in a similar style, but on a broader subject matter that would be less political and have more general appeal because I feel that my previous work was too politically inclined, and I need to work with some other subject matter. Below, there are some examples of Banksy pieces that are similar to what I will attempt, with general ideas that have broad appeal. 

In order to make this piece an installation, I will also have it projected onto a wall somewhere in the library. I may work with some architecture in the library itself and incorporate it into my piece. For example, I may project on a wall next to a window, and incorporate the window into my piece. As an additional level of complexity, if I have time, I want to try to animate the piece in place. By this, I mean simply have the components of my piece somewhat moving. For example, in the original piece this could have been achieved by having the child appear to be breathing slowly or having paint dripping out of his bucket onto the ground every once in a while.
