I have no idea why I haven't posted on this yet. It's so obviously one of the most local things I've done this year.

Ok, so last semester I took UH210, which is a Unversity Honors class, entitled Arts of Tuscaloosa. In that class I had to go to all of these "arts events" including" dance, theater, museums, creative campus speakers, and music concerts. I had to go to two events a week and write a 1 page paper on each event, which was a total and complete pain. And now this semester I'm taking FA200. In that class I have to go to one event a week and write a 3 page paper on each, which is also a pretty big pain.
But, now that I think about it, all of the events available to students on campus are actually very interesting.

No matter what background/lifestyle/ideas a student comes from and supports, there's something on campus for almost everyone.

Dance Alabama! and ARDT (Alabama Reparatory Dance Theater) both contained a multitude of performances. Each recital included: ballet, Pointe, jazz, and alternative performances, which catered to a very diverse audience.

The art exhibits and museums I went to also catered to a diverse audience. There were paintings including: landscapes, abstract art, and portraits. There was also a plethera of pottery. Other art forms present at these exhibits included: sketches, hand puppets, sculptures, and mixed media. While I'm not very interested in the sculptures or mixed media, the sketches and paintings are pretty cool. (I used to take art classes and I LOVE drawing).

Also, the plays I've gone to have all been really diverse. They were: comical, romantic, serious, mournful, adventurous, mysterious, and even scary. They were all extremely interesting and I think it's really cool that all of the plays were so different that, no matter who you are, you could enjoy atleast one.

The one thing I was not a HUGE fan of (sorry Molly and Ellen) were the music concerts. And the only reason for this is that I took piano lessons for about 5 years and I played the flute for 7 years and I am completely burned out on musical performances. But, there were a lot of different types of performances includong: solo recitals, ohestra performances, strings performances, sectional performances, and jazz performances. So, again, there were a variety of performances for people interested in all types of music.
