Sips n Strokes Comes to Campus
Last Thursday night, I got to attend a free painting class courtesy of VPB. The class was held in The Anchor, which is an open space in New Rand where students can paint banners and make posters. Many materials are provided in the Anchor, but this class was special because VPB brought in Sips n Strokes to teach it.
Sips n Strokes is a really trendy art studio that teaches you how to paint a picture stroke by stroke, while you sip on the drink of your choice. Of course, all school-sponsored events are alcohol-free, so VPB provided us with sparkling cider, cheese and grapes.
We all painted Kirkland Hall, which is home to the Arts and Science Dean’s Office and the Chancellor’s Office. It is also one of the oldest and most recognizable buildings on campus, so it made for the perfect picture.
Vanderbilt is a truly awesome place, especially if you take advantage of all of the activities on campus. Most of us are extremely busy and are involved in extra-curricular activities in addition to our challenging course loads. Vanderbilt does a great job of providing free activities for its students so that we remember to take a break and have some fun. This was the perfect start to a weekend of beautiful weather (more on that later).
In other, slightly unrelated news, this past weekend was Arts and Science Admitted Students Weekend. If you came, or even if you could not make the trip, and you have any questions, feel free to email me at erica.l.graff@vanderbilt.edu. I would love to answer them and talk you into coming here! I promise you, it was the best decision of my life. Where else could you take a $50 art class for free?
