Show 1 Wednesday, SeptZ20051 "I"'"_" . _" Aggle.Ufethe Utah Statesmai USU art students learn to create visual journals in Germany BY Z A C H PENDELTON Staff Writer This summer, 14 students from Utah State University traveled to Germany to study art. Under the tutelage of faculty member Chris Terry, the group lived and worked in a small town named Essen, drawing inspiration from the city architecture and the surrounding landscape. The students described the town and its environs as a "hidden jewel" and an inspiration for artists. The trip was an opportunity for students to learn and to share. While in Germany, the group was interviewed by several German media sources and featured in many news stories. But for the students, the art was the focus of the visit. "This is spontaneous work," advisor Chris Terry said. "We were working on site and much of the work could be described as studies and sketches rather than polished and finished works." This unpolished approach gives the art — which consists of both paintings and drawings — a journal-like feel.

People started dancing before the music started and continued to dance for an hour after the lesson ended. "The salsa music creates a fun, relaxed place to socialize where everyone is learning," said Mike Olsen, president of the salsa club and junior majoring in math education. "Salsa can take you out of your comfort circle if you are shy or don't think you're a good dancer, but the atmosphere here is so relaxed and fun that you learn not to be so shy." Olsen said the salsa club began three years ago, not long after his return from his mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Venezuela where he gained a love for ' the music. When he returned home, he sought' out other returned missionaries from Spanishspeaking missions in his student ward and went in groups to the Latin dance clubs every • week. Some members of the dancing group he went with were also part of the ballroom dance team and they encouraged him to try out. Olsen said he finally tried out because of a girl ' and remained on the team for two and a half • SALSA CLUB see page 8 • CELEBRATE AMERICA From page 5 FOOD & DRUG STORES The card is absolutely FREE Sign-up takes about ONE MINUTE!
