We made metal\u00a0point drawings, pastel\u00a0portraits, and studied and\u00a0practiced many other art forms. My favorite and most\u00a0interesting art that we studied would have to be our\u00a0graphite drawing of our actual\u00a0eye. Though it is\u00a0one of our simpler drawings, it\u00a0challenged me to be\u00a0critical and observant of minor detail to help the overall drawing.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0traveling and\u00a0experiencing art\u00a0outside of class and at\u00a0Harlaxton Manor, my\u00a0favorite places that really impacted me\u00a0were the\u00a0Museum of Self-Playing Instruments in Brentford, United Kingdom and Lincoln Castle\/Cathedral in Lincoln, United Kingdom. At the\u00a0museum, I was astonished with the work, sounds and sight of these\u00a0self-playing\u00a0instruments.\u00a0Beautiful in every way, these\u00a0instruments took many months for these\u00a0instruments to be made and many people from\u00a0different trade working together to make them a true\u00a0reality. Massive, breath-taking\u00a0and meticulously made,\u00a0Lincoln Cathedral and castle were a\u00a0gem to see as they have stood strong and tall for decades. The sight inside of the\u00a0cathedral is only\u00a0compared to\u00a0that of\u00a0Canterbury Cathedral,\u00a0which is one of the most prestigious buildings in the United Kingdom. Trimmed with the finest\u00a0metals and marbles,\u00a0Lincoln Castle and Cathedral was an honor to see touch and\u00a0appreciate. After\u00a0studying\u00a0aboard, I have\u00a0honestly gained a great respect and\u00a0appreciation for Art as it tells an underlying story,\u00a0touches each person\u00a0differently and gives us the freedom to\u00a0appreciate its message to us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Again, I would like to\u00a0thank the Givens family,\u00a0scholarship\u00a0committee, Amy Weir and Wabash College for\u00a0their everlasting commitment to engage, support and sponsor Wabash Men. It is because of experiences and\u00a0opportunities such as these that\u00a0I\u00a0chose Wabash and\u00a0I am forever\u00a0grateful for my\u00a0decision to be a part of this honorable place we all call home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
