3I: An eye for art

 When rushing from class to class you probably don’t stop and look at things around campus, I know I don’t.  My main focus is to grab a coffee and not be late, but when I have an hour in between classes I take my time.  One day as I was walking I spotted a really interesting work of art on campus, something I probably wouldn't have paid attention to if I was rushing. It was a slanted platform with two cylinders balanced on it and four pillars standing tall in the back.  This work of art specifically caught my eye because I had no idea what it was, and I still don’t. I did find out something though, that it is called Serie Metafisica XVIII and was made by Herk Van Tongeren in 1983.

      















Another work of art that I noticed on campus was a pretty gate that I walk under every day.  After seeing it many times I finally took the time to read the plaque. I found out it was called Founders Gate and was built to honor the traditions of older classes.  Next time you have a few minutes between classes I would suggest to take a small detour other than your usual route, you may find something interesting!
