Sculptural Rhetoric

This is a sculpture/monument which has the name of an honorable teacher from every year since it was built. The bell above the names of the instructors is a symbol of prestige and the large brick structure which holds it up shows the strength of the teachers. This picture shows something which is very simple, yet very eye-catching. A passerby would not simply glimpse at this and move on, he or she would inquire as to what the stone plaque has written on it. I definitely find this form of rhetoric to be very interesting. Nobody walks by a sculpture without wondering its purpose.
