The artist I chose was Renzo Piano.  He is an Italian architect.  He graduated from Politecnico di Milano in 1964 and shortly after began working with famous architects such as Richard Rodgers and Louis Kahn.  He is also very famous for buildings in New York City, Athens, Chicago and many others. 

I was especially impressed with his piece called, “Bolla” which is italian for “the glass bubble.”  ”Bolla” is placed on the bottom of the sea floor in Genoa, Italy.   It looks like a giant glass home floating on the water.  In “Bolla” there is an aquarium, a greenhouse, and animals.  In “Bolla” you will learn about biology from tour guides who are enthusiastic about science.   It is a place for learning and appreciation.         

Like Piano, uses he background to work with his pieces.  I want to do the same.  I plan on using a picture I took of my cousin blowing a giant bubble and I want to have the bubble protruding from his face.   It will be round just like “Bolla” and it will also work with the scenery around it.  My version of the water/buildings will be his picture.  I want to have it so it looks like he is blowing a bubble and it is about to pop but really it will just be increasing and decreasing.  I would also somehow like to incorporate sound with it.
