Art
Club
Art
Club is for students who are interested in the arts;
they do not need to be an artist. In the art club,
we do community art projects, such as face painting,
murals, making holiday cards and ornaments as fundraisers,
participating in school-wide projects such as murals
for other classrooms, banners, flyers, etc.
Last summer the art club raised money to go to Europe
for two weeks. There were 12 students and two art
teachers that traveled to Italy, France and England
to study art and to experience the
culture of those countries. It was an awesome trip!
This
year in May we are taking art club students to Santa
Fe, New Mexico for a weekend to visit galleries and
museums. It is our hope to take students next year
to New York City to visit the wonderful art museums
there as well as see some Broadway plays and get a
tour of the city.
The
art club consists of an average of 15 students from
grade 9 - 12 and the two directors. We elect officers
including president, vice-president, secretary, treasure,
public relations and a historian.
The
meetings are usually once a week, right after school
where we work on various art projects or fundraisers.
It
provides students with hands-on projects and a place
to talk about what is happening in the art world.
Members are involved in community service using art.
There are planned trips to local galleries and the
museums.
