“I was so surprised after getting off the subway and walking up to school where I saw a large deer. The outdoor artwork seems to make the campus feel much brighter!"
The large sculptures on the YU (President Sur Gil-soo) campus are captivating students.
On the first day of the school's festival on the 17th, YU students who came to school could not help but look at the large sculptures from the gate. Students hurrying to classes in the morning had to stop to take a look at the various sculptures installed all around campus.
The YU campus was transformed into a large art gallery for the school festival period. The sculptures installed around the gate to the campus looked like artwork displayed at art galleries. These sculptures were made by transart majors in the School of Fine Arts of the College of Design and Art.
Yoon Bo-gyeong (22, YU School of Fine Arts, transart major, junior) who participated in this event said, "I stayed up several nights working on these pieces for the festival," and added, "I hope that students will look at the works, take photos and enjoy them."
There are a total of six pieces on display including a deer made with a steel frame and covered with tree bark, and a large dinosaur made with paper boxes. 30 transart majors in the School of Fine Arts were divided into six teams to complete a piece of work for each. They will be on display until the 26th.
YU School of Fine Arts Transart Professor Shin Gi-woon, who planned out this exhibit, said, "We planned for this outdoor exhibit on campus in hopes that the students will naturally be able to take a look at the artwork and take a moment to enjoy piece of mind." He added, "I hope that during the school festivals, students will enjoy the festivities and also take a moment to appreciate the artwork made by fellow college students."
