When first arriving on campus nearly 11 months ago‚ my interest was piqued by one attraction imparticular. This attraction was the Cantor Arts Center. What truly drew me in about this building was‚ at its core‚ what it represents. More important to me then was what was displayed inside the complex rather than the complex itself. I was dazzled by its various exhibits and was interested in the art that filled the rooms inside. Fast forward to Spring Quarter of my freshman year and I am put to the task

I chose to write about “Departure of the Volunteers of 1972” (The Marseillaise) by François Rude and “Eve” by Auguste Rodin. Rude’s sculpture appealed to me immediately‚ it is extremely rich in detail as well as drama. It is a very tumultuous and aggressive looking sculpture; Bellona the Roman goddess of war is leading the French into battle. The goddess in particular is my favorite part‚ the artist does a great job of making her look ethereal. The wings‚ robe‚ crown‚ and stance all exemplify
