On October 26th, 2011, the Sociology and Creative Arts Departments co-sponsored a light painting workshop. Che Rickman and Matt Crawford, creators of Luminary, a documentary about global light painters, were the facilitators of this workshop. After a brief lecture on dazzling light painting images from their travels around the world, Che and Matt led students in the creation of their own images.
