Title of Event: Maggie Cardelús Artist Lecture

Date and time of event: October 9 5pm

Location of Event: Holmes Auditorium

Type of Event: Artist Lecture

This was a very interesting lecture about Maggie’s 30 years of experience. She tends to change her focus on art often even within each individual piece as was seen with the yarn. She specifically likes to tie in her family to her artwork which I found very interesting. She talked about how other artist have struggled to focus on both, so she combined them.

Date and time of event: October 10 1pm

I did a self guided walkthrough of the Samek Museum and checked out their Slow Looking exhibit. I like the way specific artwork was grouped together throughout the museum. I especially liked the little historic note cards and documents.

Project 2 – Jack Murad

This experience is fairly recent, but was a very memorable experience. Getting recruited to play water polo at Bucknell was an eye opening moment as I had been playing since I was 9 years old. I also was never completely sure it was something I wanted to do, but getting recruited made me take a step back and evaluate what I had put into the sport and what that made me as an individual. I had been dedicated to the sport and had to make a choice to continue this dedication. I felt proud and rewarded as my dedication had achieved something bigger than the sport itself, also an opportunity to study at Bucknell.
