Welcome Back UWSP Students- a Wealth of Art on campus 2016

  Like many Universities, UWSP has a wealth of art.

  Today I mainly took pictures of some of the outdoor art.

  You can find art in several buildings including the College of Fine arts, the Library, and the University Center.  You can also find it scattered around campus along the sidewalks and on the side of the CNR building just north of the sundial.uwsp

  Some of this outdoor art is spectacular and some of is less about art and more about p.t. Barnum salesmanship (a sucker born every day) (like those chunks of rusty iron outside of the library).

  This one could be a case of good salesmanship in that it is basically a big rock on a pile of dirt, but something about it strikes me in a good way, maybe it is all the foliage planted around it.

  My favorite piece of art on campus arrived about the time that I first arrived here in 1981; this is the Mural on the CNR.  This wonder deserves its own blog so I will get into this more in the next blog.

Bob, campuses are a great place to find art that surprises, both from artists we've heard of and talented students we might hear about one day in the future.

Now days I think colleges do a lot more to make a campus feel more inviting

Good evening Bob Crane ,  I agree with you on the mural.  It looks fascinating.  As far as the pile of rocks,  I too have trouble visualizing some things that they call "Art",  but who am I to judge.  I lost competitions to things like that.  Of course they were judged by the Contemporary School of Art professors. Need I say more?
