GSA Daily:

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

With the days of GSA immersion and guest performances all but over, students spent their third day until final day wrapping up the experience. I can feel the conclusion growing close as I peek into the classrooms: students hard at work finishing pieces for final day, asking faculty questions about futures in their discipline, wondering wondering wondering… where do I go from here?

GSA administration and staff attempted to answer those questions for the students during the morning performance time, which was spent as an information and question and answer session for students interested in pursuing their art form in college.

Visual artist Yoo Gin Lee shows off her work ready to be transported from the stuido to the gallery.

Students then entered another long but necessary day in the classroom; with creative writing students enjoying information on how to make money from their art from scholarships as AAA representative Heidi Thei introduced them to the AAA writing contest.

The final GSA smorg also took place: “Colleges and Careers” boasted information on a variety of college and career choices as told by GSA faculty and staff, who proved wisdom and not-quite-yet-washedupdom in this educational session.

Architecture students work furiously to make last minute adjustments to their drawings and models.

The evening was again met with rolled sleeves and sweat riddled foreheads as students continue to race against final day's gravitating force.

Getting used to different kinds of acoustics, a piano student practices in Haggin auditorium.

Musical Theatre faculty member Kaite Blackerby leads her students in a number.

Dance faculty member Clark Reid gives notes to his students in rehearsal.

Creative Writing students wrestle with thoughts and words as they put finishing touches on their chapbooks.

A Visual Art student displays the fruits of her GSA labor.

A Drama student makes sure he has his monologue down before receiving tips from his faculty and peers.
