For my final project I will be focusing on the origin of Grand Rapids, MI. I plan to use my research to create a visual art interpretation of the city based solely on what I discover. One thing I have already learned is that Grand Rapids is named after the Grand River and the rapids that helped the furniture industry with the transportation of logs. The city was known as “The Furniture City” for quite some time. To help portray this piece of information in my visual art piece, I might change the buildings of Grand Rapids into chairs/other furniture items, etc.
