When you make your way up to library stacks take a moment to look up!  Drawing 1 students are presenting their drawings in the stairwell all week.  They performed their value studies using charcoal and the subject of clouds - some are light and airy, puffy, textural, dark, and seemingly stormy.  A big thank you to Evan Leavitt who encouraged the drawing students to display their work in the library and helped our GC art students see their work in a new way.

Students:  Maggie Barnhardt, Bethany Barron, Rebecca Brooks, James Carter, Sam Gooden, Cara Radosevich, Petyon Riggott, Nevaeh Robinson, Emily Slepsky, Charlotte Snider, Tristan Sprankle, Mary Troupe, and Kelly Wong

Thursday, Oct. 28 Georgia College’s Wind Symphony presents “A Jazzy Affair” at 7:30 p.m. in Russell Auditorium. Directed by Dr. Cliff Towner, this concert aims to lift the heavy and tiring weight of the pandemic with fun, light and uplifting music. Influenced by American jazz, there will be harmonic style and some improvisation––similar to a Pops Orchestra concert on a breezy summer evening in Atlanta. Songs dating back to 1927 will be featured, like “Latte Macchiato” by Naoya Wada; “Fly Me to the Moon” by Bart Howard and “Sweet Trombone Rag” by Al Sweet.
