I missed two days while creating this project but I do know some things about it. In this installation we created in big letters, out of origami hearts, the word LOVE at the end of a long hallway. I think we made this installation successful because from what I heard everyone was making the hearts, and from what I saw on everyone also participated in hanging up the hearts. If we did it again I would add more color such as doing different colors of paper, or doing a thicker lining on the pictures so you can see it from far away. I think this because some of the colors even fitting the whole word in don't really show up good, so even from the other side of the hallway I don't think you'd be able to see it well.

Inspired Artist
The artists who inspired me are designer Olya Glagoleva who did a collaboration with a artist named Lisa Smirnova who is Russian. They design clothes that have been embroidered to look like paint splotches and patterns. The thought they had behind the clothes they have designed is that you're very likely to have paint or other art supplies splattered on you by the time you're done with your piece, so they have now created clothing to make it look like this, but instead using a stitching design that Olya and Lisa call Paint Splotch Embroidery. These artists grabbed my attention when scrolling down the page because their work looks like they just came out of a art class that had finished painting. It looked so natural I was intrigued by what it was.
