Last year I took at dance class located in PAO. Everyday when I left the building I noticed this rather large sculpture across the street. It's hard to miss actually. I never really stopped to look at it. I couldn't even tell you what it's called, it's artist or purpose. Although I am completley unknowledgable, I am still interested so I was originally going to compose a blog about this unknown sculpture seen below .
Pretty cool huh? What is even cooler is that when I was searching for this image I found even more images of scuplture around Purdue and surrounding areas that caught my eye! How is it that I walk by Beering every single day and I haven't noticed this cool piece of art!
Even cooler is that I learned this scuplture located outside of Beering Hall is made out of railroad tracks! The art that is around us has purpose and stories behind each and every work. I myself know that I learn to apperciate a piece of art more when I know the story behind it. Check out even more interesting images and learn about why they are here at Purdue. Better yet, go see them in real life!

So now instead of just telling my readers to open their eyes and enjoy Purdue at its best, I myself will give that concept a try. I guess the moral of this blog is practice what you preach!

I agree with you. I have walked past Bering many times but I never seen such sculptures. Next time I would be sure to pay more attention to them. It would be nice if you could give more information on these pieces of art in your future blog entries. I would love to know their names and the history behind them! Another suggestion that I would like to make is that, you can give a direct link to the website from which you gathered the information about the art sculpture made out of rail road tracks. I tried the www.homeofpurdue.com/outdoorart.html link but it took me to a different page.
