Descriptive In Class Writing Assignment

As you walk into the S-wing building of Delta community College you are immediately faced with the choice of paths. The rough red brick wall to your right continues on while the wall to your left opens up to a short hallway. Turning left you pass a a set of double doors made of an off-white steel on your right. In the center of each door is a narrow glass window surrounded by a coffee brown steel. Said doors are place far into the wall so as to accentuate the large display area between two double doors leading into a large room presumably for lectures.

The footsteps and the voices of people further within S-wing's halls can be heard bouncing off the walls. Within the display are a variety of macabre art from acrylic paintings to digital pictures. Upon a black stand is a statue made out of melted silver spoons. On the glass windows you can find the labels which state the author, title, medium, scholarship, and award for each piece. A reflection of the yourself and the windowed view beyond can be seen within the reflections on the display window.

The scents of nature leak through the ceiling-high windows to your left, the view beyond which is dominated by various construction vehicles and mounds of dirt. The windows are cool to the touch, reflecting the temperature of the world beyond. Sunlight streams through them, warming your exposed skin and making rectangles of light on the floor. A colder gray steel frames the windows while black rubber prevents the sounds of construction from reaching your ears.

At the end is a clear glass door leading outside. it is blocked by yellow caution tape stretched across by two black stands. To your right is a hallway similar to the one you glanced down earlier. However, you see a large room at the end as well as more artwork. The noises you heard in the small hallway get louder as you walk down this new one and you see more people walking past the opening to the room.
