Almost every tour that someone takes of UNC passes by the Pit. Right next to the Pit are pieces of art. They are the Cubes. You know what I am talking about; those big boxes that people paint on. Though the Cubes are not your normal bit of art, they ARE pieces of art. They might be ever-changing and evolving, but art none the less.
One of the things that is great about this piece of public art is that it is useful. They tell you about upcoming events, clubs you can join and stuff like that. Also, people do paint them. So really they are big four sided paintings. They have this amazing power to turn an everyday person into an artist. What I mean is that the people who paint them aren’t professionals. They might not even be very good at painting, but that very act of painting turns them into artists. So next time you pass by these giant blocks of wood, take a minute to admire their awesome power, and think about how much fun you could have painting one if you came to UNC.
