Creative Writing and Art

Lakers have always been exceptionally creative, and these creative works only exemplify that creative talent. The art pieces and creative writing range from class projects to published work in Grand Valley's student journals, Amaranthus, Italics, and fishladder. While all wildly different in style and content of the pieces, the one thing they all have in common is their connection to themes of water.
