Upon first visiting the site, I think it is an excellent area to put a art museum, but I also realized through our inspection today that the best place for a Pop Art museum may be in a heavily populated, urban area because consumerism and modern technology is very prominent. However, rural Aloha is still a close-to-ideal spot for a Pop art museum, specifically the site in question. In the summer, the browns of the field are dominate by brilliant blues and harsh yellows, colors that are typically favored by Pop artists. Also, the field is currently
cluttered with some favorite subjects of a Pop art painting. Shopping carts, empty water bottles, beer cans and spray paint containers a scattered across the building site, nestled in the long brown-green grass and weeds. The items adjacent to the site also reinforce the Pop art theme. There is a school, a bus stop, a church, and a popular road intersection. I personally feel one of the main goals of Pop art is to provide insight to consumerism, even if that means a consumer product is meanly featured but understated in a simple design. The sound of heavy traffic is prominent on the west side of my site, one again drawing attention
to the consumer driven life of most Aloha residents. I personally feel the community aspect of the site, although eerily a calm area amongst the hustle and bustle of the adolescent population to the West and the Christian population to the East, will entice art lovers and those eager to participate in intellectual stimulation. Thus, I need to fully erect a concept in which I can create an Andy Warhol museum to entertain the population of Aloha. I am still toying with my design, but I think it will most likely consist of rooms with stained glass ceilings so that, from a birds-eye-view, the museum will look like a famous Andy Warhol 3x3. Each stained glass ceiling would be a different segment of the museum. I am considering pairing the walls of each individual segment with the color of the glass but mainly accenting each room with a color that directly contrasts with the ceiling and wall colors. For example, I would pair blue with orange accents, because these colors are considered to clash by most standards but were featured in several Andy Warhol color altered panels of the 3x3s. My metaphor will be a little more in depth, and I still haven't completely decided on how to execute my idea, but I want each colored segment of the museum to achieve a different mood. When I individual spend time dissecting just one colored piece of an Andy Warhol 2x2 or 3x3 I notice that each image invokes a different mood and emotion. I hope to somehow find a way to do this in my museum.
