current project

I am a student at youngstown state university. I have been inspired by the downfall of Idora Park, a place that was once happy. I have done quite a few art projects reflecting my feelings of the park and i have captured the sadness of the situation. I have done drawings, computer generated artworks, and photography. Now I am expanding my Idora projects into the 3-D form. I am currently in a ceramics class and I am working on a piece that will consist of a carousel horse that is crying. My proffesor thinks it is a wonderful idea, but it needs another element in it to make it relate to Idora more. Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds good to me. This is what I think of when I think Idora.
The first park you go to as a child.
Your first time ever on a big coster, being the Jack Rabbit.
Your first time in being scared on a dark ride.
Family time.
The Best! Your first KISS on the LOST RIVER.

In your paragraph you write "the downfall of Idora Park" and "a place that was once happy" and "the sadnesss of the situation" Bud- don't dwell on the end of the park and making crying carousel horses- this was a fun, wild, exuberant place. It's now gone into the individual and collective memory. It's gone for good and all the memories should be happy- the end was brutal but it was just an epilog to a hundred-year fantasy.

I worked at Idora Park in 76' in Kiddie land. I'm so glad that there are still people interested in the Park. I like the Idea of your project. I once ran the Carosel Ride and I could remember always looking when the wildcat car full of passengers screamed by. When the half of the wildcat burned in the 80' some people called the remaining part th death drop. Maybe you could put that in the background. Another Idea would be to cll crative corner in cornersburg . Good luck!

When part of the wild cat coaster burned in the 80', some people called the remains the death drop. Maybe that will give you an Idea. Or call Creative Corner Framing in Cornersburg they know alot. good luck!

YOU COULD HAVE THE REMAINS OF THE WILDCAT IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE CAUROSEL HOUSE OR A LITTLE BOY OR GIRL WAITING FOR THE "LAST RIDE OF SUMMER"
