CSUN STUDENT gets 2nd screen credit

CSUN STUDENT gets 2nd screen credits on Simpson's TV 400th Episode Tonight!

This past Sunday, May 20th at 8:00 pm (7pm central time), The Simpsons HOUR-LONG 18th Season Finale aired on FOX!!! Two all new episodes were shown back-to-back. This finale also marks the 20-Year Anniversary of The Simpsons as an intellectual property (since the very first Simpsons short aired on the Tracey Ullman show in 1987!)

The second show, happens to be The Simpsons' 400th episode, AND CSUN Grad, Chance Raspberry's second show to receive a screen-credit as a character layout artist.

So proud of Chance Raspberry, who graduated from CSUN last Spring 06 with a BA Art, Animation Concentration.

CSUN'S VERY OWN ART WORLD





Compared to many of the other departments at CSUN, the
art department has a very open door attitude. Walking
around the art buildings, located at the northern tip
of campus, you will find many classes in progress with
their doors wide open. On some of the nicer days,
students even workoutside. Projects for the ceramics classes
can be seenon display in the courtyard in the center of the art
wing, along with drawings, paintings and graphic
design work in display cases. The attitude of most
people you will find in the art department seems to be
very welcoming and open-minded. Simply approaching and
asking an instructor politely can get you into a
classroom full of hard-working student artists. So the
next time you walk by the art wing with its colorful
buildings and slanted roof tops, stop and consider
walking through it for a change. (Photos and text from:

Friends, family students, faculty, staff, and alum are all invited to enjoy and see creativity in progress!

In this corner…
