From tutoring to computer access to study rooms to books, the library is a "fountain" of knowledge just waiting to pour itself down on those who walk through it's doors and soak in all the library has to offer.
These paintings were inspired by the fountain and waterfalls right across from the entrance to the library which makes this addition ascetically pleasing to all passers-by. Waterfalls also exude the feeling of comfort and calmness, making all who enter feel comfortable.This work was inspired by Barbara Kuger who matches words and quotes with images. Examples of quotes I would put with my waterfall image are:
"A waterfall is to water what a library is to knowledge..." or "Let knowledge flow onto all who enter".
To add alternatives to this project, I would also suggest the possiblity of "etching" the flow of water into the windows below the paintings for added interest. This thought was evoked from the work of John Baldesarri such as in his work on the entrance to the Geisel Library at UCSD.

A very unique art piece, I have never seen waterfalls on the actual building entance.

Wow, that would look really awesome. Not only would it be soothing but it would also be an appropriate addition to the library's exterior.

Really liked how you thought out the reason and the motive for your art application. "To let knowledge flow" is a great entrance statement to a library. The imagery you used to tie together the library doors to the fountain is a great coordinating idea. Nice.
