| dc.description | Public art is the expression of ones interpretations created for the public context, which is meant to be explored and experienced through emotion, memory and the senses. Public art creates a personal experience for each individual. Public art has a wide spectrum of art forms. From murals to found object installations to dance and music. The creativity and inspiration expresses itself through the public context. Public art plays a role in impacting individuals senses, emotions and even memory. This research explores the importance public art has on the senses, emotions and memory by exploring personal site visits and different mapping exercises to further explore the public art experience. This research will also explore ways that use public art to help reshape public space and how communities have taken part in that reshaping. Walkability is a theory that expresses the safety and sustainability of walking. The incorporation of public art in a walkable public space is interpreted through urban design qualities and how public art can play a role in mapping new and improved walkable spaces. It is also important to understand the benefits on social and mural programs and what they offer to a community and how they can help enhance the urban environment creating art for a neighborhoods growth. Case studies show how many mural programs have positively impacted a community in creating unsanctioned inspirational art. Which leads to a community developing it’s own sense of ownership. Methods used to gather this research include interviews, site visits, mapping and case studies. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Public art is the experience of unsanctioned art that offers subjectively curated memories, emotion and selectively triggers the senses. Public art is experienced by provoking an individual to find new spaces or by reshaping a neighborhood through the expression of murals. This thesis explores how public art can help reshape communities and neighborhoods and how people can participate in that reshaping. The research in this thesis dives into the idea of public art impacting the senses, memory and emotions. This is expressed through the analysis of site visits, sketch problems and a mapping exercise to understand public arts impact on someone. What is public art, and how can it reshape public space? | en_US |
