My project proposal involves painting tiles and piecing them together to form a large-scale image. These pieces of tile will be painted by the class or community should they wish to volunteer. The underlying message of it all seems to be that we can all come together to create something greater than ourselves. As for location, I'd enjoy embedding the piece in the walkway between the Magale Library and Hamilton Hall, but anywhere on campus will suffice so long as members of the community will be able to come across it without having expectations of it being there. Depending on how quickly we can dole out assigned pieces to be painted and how many volunteers we find, an estimated four to five weeks will be taken to complete this project. This project will be fairly cheap considering that it uses common materials. Tile being less than a dollar and all the adhesive we need for about twenty, the most expensive piece of this project would be the paint. I imagine that all of these materials combined would be no more than $200 total.

I like this project because even though it is a fairly simple one, it still requires many people. Like you said, it gets everyone involved. Most of the other projects so far can be accomplished by just a few people in the class leaving no room for contribution from others. Yours allows anyone who wants to be involved to make a contribution.
