The Pool




My concept for this Project was a piece of my creation inspired by Michael Asher where his techniques call attention to the architectural, design or admistrative strategies of the organizations that presents arts and help to control or shape its significance. The audience would be all those people that are work at the College as well those students passing by on campus. Doing this project I believed that will catch people’s attention since it is a huge art on the middle of the campus.

To get started on this project I had to take some swimming pool’s pictures from different angles. I imported the pictures and sized them according to the guidelines. Some of the tools used for this project were the rulers, the rectangle marquee and the ellipse tool. I used the crop tool, played with opacity and the free transform.

    Since its been so warm the last few days, this pool looks very refreshing.

    I don't think it would ever be empty like in the photo, and would be popular with everyone.

    Muy Bueno! I love the idea of a "social" pool in the center of campus. Bring your own towel. Swimsuit optional. Just kidding...

    Great job, might want raffle off an hour in the the pool to raise funds for other art projects around the campus. Good photoshopping. Jim
