Inspiration to Succeed-Elaine Sanderson
I chose this building because it was the most urban view I could find. I wanted to give this piece an edgy feel that could inspire the most reluctant student from any background.
I chose Arthur Ashe and this quote for the hope it conveys. Ashe worked hard as a young person to overcome formidable obstacles in his life, proving anyone can be successful.
I think this improves the campus by adding another dimension to the college experience; not only mindlessly trudging from one class to another, but, hopefully, gaining some wisdom along the way. I think it should win the competition because pieces like this will facilitate learning and inspire achievement.
I studied the campus art on the UCSD campus and found the piece by John Baldessari titled Read/Write/Think/Dream to be most inspirational. - Elaine Sanderson



Nicely done. It is simple, yet very bold and effective. The multiple levels of text followed by the image direct the viewer's eyes in more than one spot and adds visual interest while getting the important message across.
