Write you answer to explain your thoughts. Then discuss with your group.
Think about the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival and what it represents (season, nature, culture, community, celebration). In 2–3 sentences, describe an original artwork you could create that captures the feeling of the event in a creative or unexpected way.

Artwork (2 sentences):
A walk-through canopy of translucent pink “petals” cut from recycled vinyl records and sewn into a kinetic net, beneath which looped field recordings from the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival and a time-lapse projection of blooms create a drifting, multi-sensory corridor; community photographs and handwritten memories are woven into the fabric so visitors literally pass through shared stories. At dusk small LED “lantern” blossoms pulse to the audio and guide the path, turning the installation into a living map of season, culture, and celebration.
My thoughts (why and how):
I wanted to capture the festival’s ephemeral spring feeling and communal spirit by combining tactile petals (nature), found materials tied to local music/culture (recycled vinyl), and community-sourced media (photos, audio) so the piece feels both surprising and intimate. The kinetic net and projections emphasize movement and time—blossoms opening and crowds circulating—while light and sound create a celebratory, accessible atmosphere; using participatory elements (add-a-photo or short voice clip) keeps the work evolving with the community.
Simulated group discussion (responses from different roles):
- Maria (artist): “Love the recycled vinyl idea — it’s poetic and gives a subtle nod to Conyers’ music scene. We should test how the petals move in wind.”
- Jamal (community member): “Can kids help make the petals? That would make it feel like ours.”
- Priya (festival organizer): “Make sure there’s clear flow and accessibility for strollers/wheelchairs; also permit logistics for power and projection.”
- Dr. Lee (local historian): “Include a few archival photos or short text panels about the festival’s history so visitors connect past and present.”
- Avery (curator): “Consider weatherproofing and maintenance; LED pulsing patterns could be synced to live festival stages for extra impact.”
Next steps suggested by the group: prototype a small section to test materials and movement, plan a community workshop for making petals and collecting audio/photos, confirm site logistics (power, permits, accessibility), and create a maintenance plan for the installation’s duration.
