The design and construction of the physical aspects of the university should complement and strengthen the mission of the university

The design and construction of the physical aspects of the university should complement and strengthen the mission of the university to stimulate students in the effective use of learning opportunities. The physical environment should facilitate the process by which men and women seek to understand themselves and others through experiential and vicarious encounters with the extensions of man and nature (Sturner 99).

In this assignment, you will be analyzing a physical art piece located on campus. You may discover something new for this assignment or else write about an installation you have seen before but do not know much about. This assignment asks you to deepen your understanding of the history, importance, and appropriateness of a piece of art on the ISU campus.

Your purpose is to find out all you can about one small facet of the campus you inhabit and analyze how and why it has been designed and incorporated to a greater end. It is important to clarify that this assignment asks you to move beyond simple description and to add commentary and interpretation to your discussion of the subject. You should explore and explain how your chosen campus art installation was created and placed.

You may choose to write about any public piece of art on campus. Remember that effective analytical and interpretive writing describes the subject and its parts in detail, examines how the parts interact with each other, utilizes research, is logical in its organization, offers compelling insight, and concludes with a succinct summary of the analysis.

You will need to draw on material in outside sources to help you compose this paper. We will discuss in class how to properly acknowledge and cite the sources you use.

Once you know the artist, location, and name of your piece, you may need to do some additional research to gain further information.

Additionally, you need to include at least two images in your paper this time.
