The night of Nov. 13 at 6 p.m., the Levan Center held an event on Art, Architecture, and Archetype the theme this time was space.
With space being such a broad topic, not many students knew what kind of space the Professors’ Samuel Moyle, Jeffrey Huston, and Krista Moreland would be discussing.
Professor Samuel Moyle went first and discussed spaces such as deserts, dead malls, and dying downtown.
Professor Samuel Moyle had said, “I want to encourage you to explore these places safely and legally.”
His discussion on the topic of space was to encourage students to get off social media and to explore these dead areas.
“We shouldn’t despair over this decay, on the contrary, this waste is like art. Art is a matter of content, form, the content here it’s a story.” stated Moyle.
Next, Professor Jeffrey Huston went and told the audience his interpretation of the theme space. He used creativity and the box from the saying “think outside the box” to elaborate on his interpretation.
Professor Jeffrey Huston stated, “I believe that creativity does not start with thinking outside the box. It is instead in understanding of the box that we are in. And when we understand our box…we will discover that kind of potential that will not only benefit us, but everyone around us as well.”
Professor Huston’s message was for students to not see creativity as thinking outside of the box, but rather as a unique person who thinks inside the box.
Finally, Professor Krista Moreland went and took the theme of space literal. She discussed how space is being used, especially the different cultural perspectives of space.
Professor Moreland’s message was for students to understand how “we assign meaning to space or places.”
Rudy Avila, a BC student stated, “The event was very educational. It made me think of space in more than just like my house. It made me start to appreciate the little things around me.”
