Project 1:
-Place: Joe’s Coffee Shop
Explanation: I believe that a coffee shop becomes a home for people during the period of time that they spend there. From my own personal experience, I have noticed that my behavior towards being in the environment of a coffee shop is the same as being in my own home, apposed to being in any other public space.
Many people have different expectations when entering a coffee shop. Such as, seeking coffee, reading their daily newspaper, attending a meeting or just for the sake of catching up with an old friend. Each person that enters a coffee shop, has a story behind them, and being that we are all strangers in a small space we never truly know what goes on in the lives of those who we do not know. This coffee shop shelters many emotions and stories, and being that I love studying the mind of people I believe that Joe’s Coffee Shop was most suitable for this assignment
*The images/storyline will not necessarily portray any story inproticular, but a typical situation of what happens when I enter a coffee shop and the view of people minding their own business.
-Why: It is a public environment where people go seeking different things.
~Such as: Coffee, conversation, business, bathroom, food, etc.
-The environment shelters many different emotions that people may maintain in this public space.
~Such as: Anger, happiness, sorrow, loneliness, peace, hunger, and comfort
-Song: Typical Situation By; Dave Matthews

-Cool colors—warm

*Type of art:
-photography-photoshop
-Commentary from student evaluation:
I am slightly confused about which perspective you are going for. Is it the perspective of the people? How everyones expression/emotions make the place come to life? Or is it your perspective on how you observe all these things? Like when you want to take a photo of your feet as you wait impatiently…I got a bit thrown off by the objective. “Once I get the coffee there will be images of people around the shop, and their situations.” If you are leaning more towards your perspective, I think it would be cool to see your expressions reacting to other people expressions in the same photo. I like both ideas, but I think it has to sway either way.
