"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul." (-James Addison)

Every fall, when I'm visiting college campuses, I love to seek out the art, and there are always fabulous sculptures to enjoy. I’ll share just a few of my favorites with you today.

UC Davis (the University of California) has a wonderfully witty piece of art that greets you in front of their library…

A tangle of vines calls to me every time I step foot on the grounds of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota…

This rabbit, perched atop his rock at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri always makes me smile as he mimics Rodin’s Thinker…

Whitman College, in Washington state, is rife with wonderful art, and this horse constructed from driftwood oversees a quad there…

And at Kenyon College, in Gambier, Ohio, a sculpture of a boy and girl throwing their heads and arms back in glee is one that I love...

But perhaps my favorite sculpture was at Kenyon College the last time I visited, and today when I looked for it, it was gone…so I’m glad I got this photo when I was there before…

“Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.” (-Ralph Waldo Emerson)
