On Saturday, April 11, a Scoop and Paint event was held in the Maurer Link. Hosted by RA Snigdha Dasoondi’28, this one-hour painting session was attended by a number of talented artists and students seeking ice cream.
At the Scoop and Paint, attending students were provided with canvases, paint, and an assortment of different flavored mochi ice creams to choose from. A number of students showed up, both from within Maurer and the campus as a whole, and set to work on their paintings, quickly falling into a productive groove.
Dasoondi, the RA for Maurer’s first floor, shared her thoughts on the event’s turnout: “I think [the Scoop and Paint] went pretty good,” she said, going on to say how “there were like 15 people who showed up, and everybody stayed the full hour, so that’s nice. Everybody painted some awesome stuff, and ice cream is always a hit.”
Students used the gathering as an opportunity to put their artistic skills to use, with some truly standout paintings of wolves, trees, and internet memes making memorable centerpieces of the event.
As one of the last RA events hosted this year, the Scoop and Paint served as a nice break for students hoping to socialize and destress from the pressure of finals, which are approaching in a matter of weeks.
Deckard Ponce Jacobson’29, a Maurer resident who attended the event, gave his opinion on how the event went. “It was a fun little event! It was a good break from doing my homework and chores.”
