Notes from Sat. Mar. 31 meeting:

Julie brought a new, complete sky, which will cover all of the necessary area. Laurie suggested breaking up the sky into panels that are set within each section of wall, with a border of empty space at the corners. This will make the fabrication and installation easier. We tested it out, and everyone agreed that it worked well - it had a 'freeing' effect. Laurie also had some prices and information for fabricating the bubbles. Arta suggested making full-length figures, in a variety of smaller-than-life sizes, as if they are being seen in perspective at different layers of depth. This would give us more options for integrating the figures into the room, outside of the sky areas. She will shoot more reference photos of figures blowing and catching bubbles, and Julie will mock them up for the next meeting. There was a general interest in sky-blue figures with some hint of clouds. Annie pointed out that if we aren't able to reach a consensus on the figures at the next meeting, that we could move ahead with the rest of the project, and add them in later. At the end of the meeting, Julie, Annie and Laurie took a look at some examples of prints mounted on gator board, which seems likely to be suitable for our purposes.

The next meeting will be Sat. Apr. 28, at 1:00 at the hospital. Please bring your drawings for the bubbles, and think of which are your top picks (about 5 per person). Also, please take a look at the blog - Laurie has posted some bubble creations. We will need to focus on the bubble drawings at the next meeting; Julie will bring a variety of options to consider. Julie, Annie and Laurie will do more research on production methods and prices.

Thanks everyone!
