We got rained in! :( Consequentially, classes were canceled and we all got soaked. After waiting in the dining hall for about 2 hours, we were then advised to go to Scoates Hall for a lecture.
This lecture was being given by Dr. Slatter and Dr. Carpenter. This is like a tag team of amazing people. They both contain so much knowledge and impact. I feel like they understand us as students and make themselves relate able for what we believe. The lecture they were given centered around how art is perceived. They expressed that ART HAS TO MAKE AN IMPACT to be called art. Art should entail discussion and thought. I completely agree with both as I believe that when looking at art if no inclination to think is made, it is not art.
After the discussion about art they presented us with a video about Hurrican Katrina. Instead of a documentary, it was more of an art film. It sparked a lot of tears in the class as many students felt that they personally connected with what the film was depicting. Afterwards, we discussed our thoughts on the film and, again, I was surprised by the deep discussion. Having a room full of 100 kids and still be able to have a good discussion among them all is an amazing feat. I'm really starting to like the people here and enjoy what they have to say and I'm excited for tomorrow. :-)
