All George Fox University employees and students receive one complementary ticket. Your complimentary ticket is only available at the Box Office in the University Bookstore. Additional tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for alumni and seniors, and $6 for students and children under 12. Tickets may be purchased on the university’s website.

Three student project displays are currently up in the library. Following is a synopsis of each.

History of Visual Communications
Members of Bob Bredemeier’s History of Visual Communications class were all given the same typographic information to design posters in a style or art movement studied in class. Each year the typographical information is on a fictitious concert highlighting one or more composers. This year’s concert pieces use French composers.

General Biology 211
Each group of two students prepared a poster describing some practical application of biology and the relevant theory behind this application. The purpose of this assignment was to offer students a first exposure to the presentation of science-related information using a poster format. Posters include pieces on photosynthesis, yersina pestis (Black Plague), effects of cyanide inhibition on the electron transport chain, intercalated discs, breast cancer and leptin.

Drawing II
Lori McLaughlin’s Drawing II class created drawings in the style of artist Robert Longo. Students used a large format and high contrast, with black and white charcoal, to create an image that displays a strong emotion or dramatic feeling. These images reflect the work of God in nature and human expression.
