The Daily Bruin

Spend an evening with Robert Schlegel and learn how to imagine, create and shape a piece of sculptural art with paper mache. With his artwork currently being shown in “The Art of Agriculture” exhibit, the Cultural Center would like to offer the chance to go deeper with the art and its artist.

Join this workshop and learn some of the method and effort behind creating sculptural armature, and paper mache covering. This is a hands-on demonstration in which participants will not only get the chance to learn and ask questions, but the group will work together to create a piece of art.

Come be a part of the action, get your hands messy and learn by doing! The course is from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10, and the cost is $20 per person.

The Latino Heritage Club is seeking performers for its Spoken Word Night on Thursday, March 5, at 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Theme: Forgiveness and Love
With the event being just the week after February, we though this theme was fitting. Contrary to what may be an initial reaction, it is not a cheesy Valentine’s Day theme. A new semester is an opportunity for a fresh start. Sometimes that may mean letting go of grudges, mending relationships and welcoming love.

February is also Black History Month, and remembering the injustices that were and are still being forgiven. And for some the theme of forgiveness and love triggers memories of past or current relationships. What does the theme mean to you? Please consider sharing your story at the upcoming Spoken Word Night.

If you’re interested in performing, please email LHC directly at gfulhc@gmail.com.
