The documentary project changed me and made me grateful
For my last piece for the Spartan, I will do something a bit different. Typically, by now, I would have forced some pun or joke about the topic at hand. But this time, I will be honest and write about something that has defined my colligate experience here at VTSU – “Castleton- Error 404 Books not Found.”
Debuting the library documentary
On Wednesday, April 24, five VTSU-Castleton filmmakers proudly screened “Error 404: Book Not Found,” a documentary about the rescinded all-digital library decision last February, to a maxed-out audience in Herrick Auditorium. The project began in Communications professor Sam Davis-Boyd’s Documentary Filmmaking class – led by Lily Doton, Jacob...

‘Contemplation’ a metaphor for crossroad at graduation
I am closing in on a lifelong dream by completing my Bachelors Degree in Studio Arts. Having a Masters degree in Education and a long career behind me, I refer to this as my personal renaissance. One of my mixed-media pieces, “Contemplation,” seems a fitting metaphor as I stand at this crossroad. The work transpired from two prompts, “reflection and refraction,” given to us by Professor Schemm in our Open Studio course last fall.
Reflections from an A&Senior
If you flip past news, past local and past opinions (a more time-consuming feat than ever this week), you’ll arrive at the ever-evolving Arts & Culture section (A&C). If news is the responsible eldest, local the well-adjusted middle child and opinions the loud, jaded teen , A&C is the baby, the bright young thing that still has a sparkle in its eye. Once titled Arts & Academics, today’s A&C is known by some as the fun section, always ready with a review or a crossword to distract you from the work that brought you to a Proc booth in the first place.
‘Art Soup’ fuses the arts departments
With an assortment of creativity and collaboration, Castleton’s “Art Soup” performance exceeded the bounds of traditional performance, captivating the audience for the second year. The display was a celebration of art in all its forms, made possible by the combined efforts of VTSU Castleton teachers, staff, students and community members.
