UST Students Participate in Alternative Spring Break
3/28/2008
Participants of Alternative Spring BreakEleven UST students participated in the 2008 Campus Ministry Alternative Spring Break Experience in Portland, Oregon, focusing on a collaborative art project with 28 students at Jackson Middle School as well as students at the University of Portland. Inspired by artist Adam Kuby’s theme of acupuncture and the interdependence of organs within the human body, the students designed and created a 4-foot-by-16-foot mixed media mural reflecting the relationships of Jackson Middle School using the analogy of acupuncture energy meridians. The weeklong project included opportunities to visit the Oregon coast, the Chinese and Japanese gardens, the Columbia Gorge and Mount Hood. UST participant Mario Navarro realized that people have various aspects that allow them to visualize and see the world in different views. “This beauty that I saw through the organic nature of art helped me better understand how art flows creatively,” he said.
