20 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Design students showcase work during art hike ASTORIA — Students from Clatsop Community Col- lege’s basic design class will showcase their spring term projects during an art hike in a local forest Friday, June 2. The projects for the “Shinrin-Yoku Art Hike” have an ecological theme and will be installed along on the trail connecting the college to the Astoria Column. The trail can be ac- cessed from the east end of the lower parking lot. Flags crated by Lives in Transition students will signal the trail entrance. The project is inspired by the Japanese concept “Shinrin-Yoku Forest Bath- ing,” a form of healing that involves wandering along a forest trail and spending time in nature, according to press materials. The art hike is also inspired by Marco Davis’ “A Sunday in the Park with Art.” From 12:30 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 5:30 p.m., the event will feature special performanc- es, including belly dancing by Varyin Parham and Allystar Green. Dave Drury, a college guitar instructor, PHOTO BY ANNGELINA CHASTEEN PHOTO BY ANNGELINA CHASTEEN will help kick off the event by performing on the trail between 12:30 and 1 p.m. In addition, the event will feature the college Rocks Campaign, an off-shoot of the Astoria Rocks group, in which hand-painted rocks are placed along the trail for hikers to find. “If you are lucky enough to spot a rock along the trail, you may keep it or relocate it for another hiker to dis- cover,” organizers wrote. The painted rocks have been created not only by the design students taught by Instructor Kristin Shauck, but by watercolor students, Lives in Transition students, Talent Search middle school students, and creative non- fiction students.
