It's The Climb

I realized two things this week.

1. This project is becoming so much more than I ever imagined.


2. And sleep is good!

But thats the amazing thing about this! When I first thought of the idea for this project, I never considered how much it would impact my life. I find myself thinking about it constantly, talking about it every chance I get, and today, I was stalking down art students and freelance side-walk-chalkers on campus to tell them about my idea. It's becoming apart of my life.

If you scroll through my recent pictures on my camera roll, all you would see is pictures of the stairs. I have climbed the central deck stairs many times this week, taking pictures of every angle and colored door. I'm trying to get a good feel for what I have to work with. A girl I work with, Stephanie,  is a KSU alumni who graduated with an Art Degree . She Is helping me out more than I could ask for. I told her about my project at work the other day, the next thing I knew I was over at her house watching her sketch out incredible 3D floor plans of the stairs. She is working on designs for each level of the deck according to theme. For each floor we chose possible themes for the paintings:

For the 8th level (not pictured above): KSU 50th Anniversary Theme

7th level ( Purple): American Cancer Society

6th level (Orange): Inspirational/ Motivational

5th level (Blue): Sky/ fluffy white clouds

4th level (Red): Heart health

3rd level (green): Go Green/ nature/ eco-friendly

2nd level (yellow): Sunshine and sunflowers

Conner, from the other section of Be The Change, made some awesome fliers seeking "Creative Minds" ! I hung these up around the Visual Arts building and passed them out to some art students hoping to gather a few artists to volunteer!

Kennesaw Step Up is making some serious progress and from here on out each day will deliver something new! Over the course of the next week, me and my team will be putting together a proposal to present to the KSU Department of Parking and Transportation! Exciting (and extremely busy) week ahead!

Climb on and spread the love!
