My experience at The Beall Center was far from what I expected. Entering the school, we were overwhelmed by all the different buildings around us. Finally, I used my noggin and called my friend, who attend UCI, and he directed us to where the Art buildings were. I'm not very good at navigating myself around, so I asked for help from a very sweet young lady sitting down. She actually took the time out of her day to walk us so we could easily find the building. HOW NICE OF HER!
Anyhow, the doors to the center were open, but it was very dark. I'm not going to lie I was kinda scared to walk in there, especially since the first thing I saw was a white inflated "thing" which kinda looked like a man in the dark. We walked in and were greeted by a very kind person working there. He asked us if we wanted a "tour" of the ONE ROOM, and of course we accepted. The first and coolest thing he showed us were the moving "birds" They're actually sensored and react to our presence. All the motions were engineered with the use of the tubes and air, how awesome! I was kind of surprised at how quickly they inflated, it was very amusing. I must admit, the setting of the dark room kind of gave me an eery vibe, but nonetheless, I had a great time!
