This is a collaboration- what does the panther mean to you?
I'd love to receive some inspiration with the process. What does this panther represent to the students? What does it make them feel? Anyone out there reading this blog?
This looks great, I'm so excited about this project! I can't wait until it makes its way to the hill of Prairie View A&M University. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
The Panther is a recognizable icon that unites the Past, Present, and Future of Prairie View A&M University. A Prairie View A&M University Panther, is someone that understands that from the rich and sometimes dark history of our nation, a first class institution was created in the rebirth of our beloved country, to educate and knowingly contribute to the rebuilding and progression towards a more enlightened society. The Panther, I believe, represents rebirth in all aspects of life, education is the cornerstone for any society, and Prairie View A&M University is dedciated to just that by, "Producing Porductive People".
It is nearly 5 years since this post. I wish I had known about it earlier. My name is Elton McWashington, Jr. I majored in Graphic Design when I was at PV. This is a fascinating blog! It is cool to see the whole process play out. I can only imagine what dealing with Talley was like LOL!!! Sooooooo, what does the panther mean to me? The Panther is a dark and mysterious. I always felt like it symbolized the unseen part of a person. The potential. It has always been a reminder to push the envelope and to not be predictable. It's a powerful animal, so it has also inspired me to find my own power. I haven't been on the campus long enough to take a stroll since 2008, so I can't wait to see this statue and take what inspiration I can from it.
One should lead never follow...
