Yet another GSA tradition was introduced on Wednesday: smorgs! This activity, despite sounding like an unfortunate sneeze, is an abbreviation of the word “smorgasbord” and gives students the opportunity to explore disciplines outside their specialty. Students chose from an assortment of class options, including “Claymation and You” taught by Ruben Moreno and the down-and-dirty option of “Exploring Texture with Clay.”

But watch out! You never know how much trying new things could change your life. Architecture D.A. Caroline Quinio, a junior at UK, actually discovered her love for Architecture while participating in a smorg during attendance at GSA ’03 under Instrumental Music.

Later that evening, students had an opportunity to build artistic endurance as the first night of studio work arrived. In an example of the famous discipline GSA cooperation, the instrumental musicians and dancers interspersed, breaking into small groups in charge of both choreographing and writing music for a joint piece. This collaborative attitude and mutual appreciation of different art forms is representational of the GSA community as a whole.
