People tell us about places

Assignment:

Choose a place on or around campus: one that you are curious about, or that strikes you as unusual in some way or even some place that seems really ordinary and boring but that you don't know much about. For this assignment choose something that is not a part of the art department or an artwork. Find someone who comes to, works at, or uses this place regularly and learn from them about the place. Focus on both learning details about the place and on learning the particular qualities of how that person thinks about and relates to the place. Write a paragraph on what you have learned making sure to include things that convey the character and experience of the person who is your research source. Post the paragraph and an image to the blog that shows the place as this person understands it.
