{ IDEA: SPACE REDESIGN }

Inspired by the Emma Talks, I decided to redesign the practice room area (basement of Snell music wing) for the Emma community, in an attempt to make it a more comfortable and inviting space.

The first thing I did was to decorate the door knobs of the practice rooms. Hopefully the bows and flowers would let the musicians feel more welcomed when they go practice.


I had a conversation with Ms. Bendall, my psychology teacher, about what kind of space would make people feel a sense of security. She suggested that soft and warm-colored objects are effective. Things that remind us of enjoyable experience could also work well. So I had the idea of creating a "candy floss" room. 
I dyed the polyester pillow forms with acrylic paints. The colors I picked were all vibrant  and resemble the typical candy floss colors. 



The pillow forms will be sticked to the wall together with some paper crafts that would remind people of childhood.

  1. Vivian, I love your idea! The practice rooms have been an issue for some time, making your project particularly interesting. I am impressed that you contacted Ms. Bendall. Her psychological expertise is a terrific addition to your piece. It would be interesting to learn more about the mental aspects of room design.

    Have you considered trying different theories in different rooms to see what works best? This could be a neat merging of art and science!

    I am very happy to see pictures of your work and am looking forward to future posts like this.

    As you continue with this project, keep the final sharing in mind. Try to remember what you will present at the end of the year, and be sure to document what you need along the way.

    Keep up the great work!
