Show LIFE B5 The student life cycle With such busy schedules, some students catch a nap on campus By MARK DIMOND Life Writer GILBERT CISNEROS/UVU REVIEW A student manages to catch a few Z's between classes. Study. Facebook. Nap. Repeat. These words seem to describe the typical day of a college student. The locations that students choose to do these activities tend to vary widely according to personal preference. However, there are some clear favorites among our student body. The library offers many options for students looking to study, nap or both—sometimes simultaneously. "They say you learn better in your sleep ya know," said Makenna Donaldson, a former UVU student. "I used to nap in the hallway to the library in one of those nook things. I would stick in my headphones and be dead to the world." The hallway between the physical education building and the UCCU Center is full of couches where you are almost certain to find at least one student sound asleep. Trying to ask these students why they prefer that particular hallway is easier said than done—they were all out cold. The hall of flags is also a guaranteed hotspot for students looking to do some studying. Aside from the great view of the mountains to the if I used to nap in the hallway to the library in one of those nook things. I would stick in my headphones and be dead to the world. AA Makenna Donaldson former UVU student west and the courtyard to the east, many students choose to make use of this stretch to strut their stuff to hundreds of their peers sitting in the chairs lining the walls. "I always used to like to study in the hall of flags," said UVU alumnus Blaine Nilsson. "But I wasn't studying homework." If you are feeling a little more outdoorsy, when the weather is nice, or maybe just want to work on your tan, the quad is a great place to go. The grass provides a comfortable spot to sit and the waterfall helps to drown out the normal campus sounds. "I like being by the waterfall," said student Chelsea Anderson. "I took a nap [there], and did homework. So it [has a] dual purpose." If students aren't comfortable sprawling out and sleeping in a high traffic area but still want to take a nap on campus, don't worry. There are still options. People can often find students asleep on the floor of an otherwise empty group study room in the library. Another example of a lowprofile quiet area is on the second floor of the Browning Administration Building. Just up the stairs in front of One Stop and past the classrooms to the end of the hall. There students will find a couple of couches and chairs, without much traffic. Woodbury Art Museum hosts annual Orem Big Read By KIM LENDER Life Writer Brightly colored paintings hung delicately on the white walls brought life to an otherwise plain room. Photographs, small and dark, balanced the vibrancy of the large paintings. One small anomaly, not far from the artwork, caught the eyes of the wandering audience: the artists' family trees. The Orem Big Read is an annual book-reading event in partnership with the Orem Public Library, for people in the community to get together to experience and discuss the topics within a specific book. This year Orem Big Read is highlighting the book "Gilead", by Marilynne Robinson focusing on the theme of passing down a family business from one generation to the next. The Woodbury Art Museum hosted a panel discussion of local artists on Tuesday, Oct. 4, to share their family trees, as well as explain how their talents have been passed down through the generations. Throughout history, artistic skill has passed through families. Many examples were shown in a presentation given by Courtney Davis, an art history professor at UVU, which included Jose Ruiz Blasco and his son Picasso, as well as Filippo Lippi and his son Filippino. Local painter Cassandra Barney and sculptor Daniel Fairbanks, along with Davis, appeared on the panel to discuss their own backgrounds coming from artistic families "Your family is so connected, they're your teachers, your tutors," Davis said. Art was an essential part of these speakers' youth. Barney grew up with a father and a sister who are painters. And three generations of artists preceded Fairbanks in his ability. Although these panelists grew up with creative relatives, they are not just mirrors of them. They each have their own reason as to why they chose their careers. "I hope people know that they can, despite what their parents do, be inspired to pursue their passions," Barney said. There are many different types of art that can be explored in various ways to match the diversity of interests. "It is not just born into your blood," Barney said. "Anyone can do it."
