U.A.D. has produced many renowned artists over the decades, and my Grandpa is one of them, which is why I chose to attend here. Although the university is famous for its diverse arts and creative fields, it also offers a few subjects outside of those areas.

As I stepped into the library, the first thing that strikes me is the sense of space and light. The high ceilings make the room feel expansive, while the large windows on one side flood the interior with soft, natural light. This light casts gentle shadows across the polished wood floors, giving the space a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The entrance area is open and uncluttered, with a sleek reception desk where a librarian greeting students and faculty with a friendly nod. Nearby, a digital directory on a wall screen highlights different sections of the library, helping visitors find their way.

As I move deeper into the library, I pass through rows of tall, minimalist bookshelves filled with a carefully curated selection of art, design, and creativity-focused books. The shelves are arranged to create small, intimate reading nooks. Each nook is equipped with a plush armchair or a comfortable window seat, accompanied by soft, focused lighting that makes it easy to lose oneself in a book.

In the central area, there are long tables designed for collaborative work. These tables are surrounded by ergonomic chairs, making them perfect for group discussions or solo brainstorming session. I noticed few students huddled together, sketching on large sheets of paper, while others work quietly on laptops, the faint hum of creativity filling the air.

To one side, there's a dedicated section for periodicals and journals, with sleek, modern chairs arranged in a semi-circle around low coffee tables. Here, I see an array of magazines and journals showcasing the latest in fine arts and design, sparking ideas with every page turned.

Further in, the library offers a creative studio space, complete with large, communal worktables and walls lined with supplies like sketch pads, paints, and tools. This area is less formal, encouraging hands-on work and spontaneous creativity. I can feel a surge of inspiration just by looking at it, imagining the endless possibilities.

The entire library has a subtle, sophisticated design aesthetic, blending modern minimalism with thoughtful touches that cater to the creative mind. The color palette is neutral but warm, with hints of color in the artwork displayed on the walls-pieces likely created by students and faculty.

As I found a cozy nook by the window, I settled my self with a stack of art books and a notebook, ready to let the serene, studious atmosphere of the library fuel my creative inspiration. The quiet rustle of pages turning, the soft buzz of low conversations, and the occasional tapping of laptop keys blend into a harmonious background, creating the perfect environment for deep thought and creativity.

The afternoon sun streams through the glass, casting warm patterns of light and shadow across my sketchbook. I've been searching for inspiration since yesterday, but nothing seems to ignite the creativity I crave. Time is slipping away, and I'm acutely aware of the limited hours left to complete this assignment. My professor tasked us with creating a piece of art to showcase our unique styles, and it's due today. This exercise is his way of discerning which artistic direction suits each of us best.

I sighed softly, glancing out of the window, hoping that the view might stir something within me. The garden outside the library is lush and vibrant, with manicured lawns, blooming flowers, and a few trees providing shade. It's a serene scene, but what catches my eye is not the garden itself, but a figure moving among the greenery.
