FAM
FAM. You will hear this word often here. It has many variations, Food, Art,
Music. Friends, Artists and Makers. Freshman, Alumni and Makers. All are
true, and reflect this core understanding that we create from. We are indeed
a family. There is love here. A deep love that is born out of respect, and a
recognition in the other that we all need to make stuff. To tell stories. To
understand our world, and indeed ourselves, through making.
The renovation project for this year was the patio behind the painting studio.
Originally this was a working studio space, but over the year, had become the
repository for stuff we werre no longer using, but felt guilty about throwing
away. Leslie, Annemarie, Nathaniel and I spent 8hrs one hot summer day,
and emptied out the entire space. A few weeks later, Yvonne, Yessenia and
Grace used weed sprayers and sprayed the paint on, creating wonderful
oceanic swirls. On his return from hiking, Tim and Scott gradually began to
dispose of the mounds of garbage.
This space, has become a wonderful setting to hold outdoor critiques during
painting class. A quite place for students to sit by themselves and sketch.
The barbecue grills found a natural home off to the side, facilitating many
impormptu dinners. This space reflects who we are. We believe in doing
things ourselves, and together. This is our home. Our family. We invite you
to join us and become part of our FAM. –Terrill Thomas

SUMMER FAM NIGHTS
ART EAT FILM, BECOMES FAM NIGHTS
FAM Nights are about community. A community art and design majors,
alumni, our friends, and the perfect event to invite incoming Freshman
students to. Students and friends come together around 5pm to harvest the
garden of tomatoes, cucumbers and bellpeppers. We cook together, and try
out new recipes. This isn’t your hot dogs and chips summer food. We use
fresh produce and cook Indian, Thai, Mexican and Vietnamese.
While we visit and share a meal, students and alumni, take turn sharing
their latest creative projects, for feedback from their peers. Some bring
paintings in, others project their Instagram feed onto the wall.

+5 A+D FAM FIELDTRIP / OCEANSIDE + CARNIVAL OF ASTOUNDING ART + BEACH DAY // Over 20 Art+Design majors, alumni and friends
visited the Oceanside Museum of Art to see the Carnival of Astounding Art curated by Bob Self of BabyTatoo. After the exhibit, we spent the
afternoon at the beach, testing out the GoPro cameras in the surf and just relaxing. The evening ended with dinner at Killer Pizza from Space!
LAGUNA CANYON HIKE
One of the best things about La Sierra University is our proximity to
Laguna Beach. Laguna Canyon offers a challenging 5 mile hike, with steep
ascents and an occasional rattlesnake!
HUNTINGTON BEACH, BEACH DAY
What better way to start the summer, than a day at Huntington Beach.
Students, friends and alumni spent the day swimming in the surf, grilling
hot dogs, and just enjoying a beautiful summer day together. Of course
no day would be complete without building a 4 high pyramid!
As a department we place a incredibly high value on getting outside, and
recharing our creative batteries and physical bodies. As much as we love
working in the studios, we enjoy a day out in nature.

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE
EPIC HIKE TO THE BRIDGE
The Bridge to Nowhere is located in the Angeles Forest range. The 11
mile loop is a challenging hike filled with water crossings, and difficult
terrain. Hikers that reach the bridge are rewarded with a stream that
runs deep enough to swim in.
This annual hike is a wonderful chance for Art+Design students to connect
with alumni and make new friends.

CRYSTAL COVE
Orange County home to some of the
best beaches in California, is also
located within an hour’s drive from
LSU. Visiting the beautiful coast is
great opportunity to deepen your
friendships as well as a chance to
enjoy some mindful quite time.
THE BROAD + MOCA
Los Angeles is home to The BROAD, a
world class museum that just opened.
The BROAD is adjacent to the famous
Disney Hall and a few blocks away
from The Geffen Contemporary.
Directly across from The BROAD
Museum lies MOCA, the Museum of
Contemporary Art.
The resources that are near your
institution of study, is equally as
important as where you choose to
study. Los Angeles is located only an
hour away from La Sierra University.

SOCIAL EVENTSMovie nights happen everytime an
exhibition comes down. Movies
are projected onto the wall, and
provide a chance for students to
be inspired by the creative work
of others.
Southern California always has
some time of festival or exhibit
like the Rise of the Jack O’
Lanterns that the department
went to go see last October.
The students and faculty frequently
create murals in support of on
campus events. For the Christmas
Tree Lighting ceremony,
Kristen Olson, Randy Lauw, and
department chair Terrill Thomas
created this mural as a photo
backdrop. Fine art major Grace
Saunders tests out a wig for her
costume.
YOGA+ARTThe Brandstater gallery exhibitions
provide a wonderful backdrop
for the weekly Yoga+Art series,
co-sponsored by the SALSU
Wellness program.

ALGERS CREEK HIKE
Algers Creek is a short hour drive
from LSU, located in the San
Bernardino Mountains. Hiking
provides a wonderful way to connect
with nature and make new friends.
While hiking, one becomes attuned
to the subtle color graduations
found in the trees and greenery.
Without the city noise, our ears
find rest in the gentle rustle of
the wind, and the chirping of the
birds. Spending time in nature is the
perfect way to enjoy a Sabbath rest
from the digital world.
2-BIT HIKE
Design major Kristen, and science
major Ayla enjoy a relaxing
Friday afternoon hike behind the
department.
