Robinson Hall and It's Coolness!
I chose Robinson Hall as my location to map simply because of all the amazing points the building contains, physically but mostly figuratively! Robinson Hall truly is a mecca of creativity and literacy underlife. People always associate literacy with just strictly reading and writing but I believe Robinson Hall completely shatters those standards. By housing the dance, theater, art, and music departments, I believe Robinson Hall truly is the most important building on campus that deals with different forms of literacy underlife. When walking into the building for the first time one would not get the impression of it being a building of the arts. It actually seems like some boring science building. But after wandering around on the different floors, I slowly began to pick up the artistic vibe. I began to notice special paintings, and sculptures throughout the building. Surprisingly a majority of these photos went unnamed. This automatically made me picture literary underlife. By not naming the piece of art, I was unable to identify where it came from, and who designed and made it! That seems pretty shady to me, which honestly brought me all the way back to the word "underlife." I believe Robinson Hall and all of it's obvious artistic vibes, but also it's non-obvious artistic vibes is what makes it an important place to discover literary underlife.

I wasn't sure if I was suppose to reply to this blog or the one before it...but anyway I thought it was really cool how you weren't able to interpret the paintings without names i think that could be useful for artistic purposes because it could leave more up for individual interpretation. I haven't spent much time in Robinson but next time i'm there i'll take more time to notice the artistic vibe. :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you took a different approach to find literacy! This sounds like a really interesting place. I haven't been in there yet, but maybe I'll have a class in there in the future so I can experience its "coolness" as well.
