Group Installation Art- Flower CD Mobile

For this project my group members were Caz, Christian, Kristina, Marcello, and Laszlo. We decided as a group to do a flower themed mobile using CD's as the flowers. We thought that if we painted the coloured side of the CD's and left the shiny sides as is, that they would catch the light from the skylight in the main foyer very nicely. The materials we used were old CD's, acrylic paint, and fishing line. The design on the CD's were done in half cool colours and half warm colours, so that the two outer branches of the mobile were all warm colours on one side and all cool on the other.(In the picture the CD's on the left side were the cool colours and the CD's on the right side were the warm colours.) The middle branch had one side of a cool colours and one side of warm colours with the focal point a mixture of all of our different coloured CD's put together. We had to position our mobile above the showcase is fear that since it was quite a bit longer than the other mobiles, that students might hit it and it would possibly fall. Another challange we faced ws after we put our mobile above the showcase, our focal point row was too long and hit the top so we had to sacrifice one CD from the bottom. Our concept was to have a bright, colourful mobile that moved easily and made people notice it when they walked by.
