Event #3

For my third event, I visited the UCLA biomedical library. I was very confused on why I would want to go here, but figured that Professor Vesna had something good planned for me. I actually got out of this something more than I believe most students would. When I arrived at the library, I noticed a picture on the wall. It was a picture of the first printed book on medicine ever. It struck me what this whole class was about, combining art and different studies on our life to really grasp what the world is all about. This picture really summed the class up. It is a piece of art, that captures history through art, as well as displaying the first written signs of medicine we have known. Not only that, but it is located in one of the top BioMedical libraries in the world. It really does encase everything this class is about.

I would also like to give an honorable mention to a beautiful picture of a fern I found. It was the first ever printed picture of a plant in a book.
