Welcome Back UWSP Students - Enjoy the CNR Mural

 

  Just before I started attending UWSP in 1981 I had the pleasure of watching a group of art students assembling and installing the big Natural Resource Mural on the south side of the College of Natural Resources.

 

  It is a fascinating computer generated mural of several natural history type scenes all made up of little ceramic tiles with various natural resource related images including wildlife, trees, water molecules, paper machines, surveying equip and many other natural resource images.

 

  Stop by spend some time enjoying the simplicity and complexity of this impressive work of art and engineering.

Wow....what an amazing mural!  I'm glad that you showed the close up view because you wouldn't expect the level of detail bases on the view from the distance.

That work is simply amazing and must be much more impressive seeing it in person.

How are you feeling?

Thank you for stopping by Friends!

It is a great mural one of the many great bits of art around Point.

I am home now and doing much better, I am glad that I had this UWSP series written in advance since I am a bit slow this week and the work piled up while I was gone.

Bob-I have heard of UW-SP. A former NBA star who played for the Spurs attended the school. He spoke fondly of his memories there. Not sure if it was related to class room stuff or something else.

Bob, the mural is outstanding.  Very interesting to see the mural from a distance as well as the individual tiles.
