School Environment Alteration - Ariel Turjanski

1) Lighten the hallways on both sides of the building. Currently, the dark corridors are very uninspiring and depressing but by lightening them up, through paint and more lighting, it would make the areas less awful to be in.

2) Make an area for collaboration. Currently, the school is divided up (you can't even get to the other half unless you go upstairs and across) and it leads to a lack of communication between artists. Since we all have great ideas, having a space in order to bring us together would expand our horizons and make the students of the art school feel less isolated. The area can be made by closing off the center outside space and instead making a place for more tables and display areas for our artwork.

3)  Protecting artwork by placing clips on the walls in order to display paper works of art. After spending as much as 40 hours working on a drawing or painting, students shouldn't feel discouraged to hang their work up in fear of it being destroyed. By playing clips on the wall similar to clipboard clips, the work wouldn't be punctured by pins. On top of this, a wall of sliding class, similar to the sliding glass protecting the map on the upstairs wall of the building, would add another layer of protection to the art. 

4) Creating enclosed storage spaces for the storage of artwork by professors while they are grading the works of art. Currently, the system of leaving pieces on exposed shelves leaves a lot of time where the pieces are unattended and can be altered, destroyed or stolen by other students that have class in those studios. Giving each instructor a space to place the art while they are grading would reduce the amount of damage the students work suffers during the grading process.
