At Art Club, there are a variety of different things to participate in. At each of the regular meetings (held the second Wednesday of each month), there are projects such as window painting, miniature murals, cookie decorating, etc. We make projects from both the �art� side of art and the �crafts� side of art. Additionally, there are extra meetings for volunteering opportunities, such as teaching craft sessions at the elementary schools, or helping elderly people in nursing homes make decorations for the doors or rooms. There is also a possibility of going on trips to see openings at the local art museums or art festivals.
Okie, so we have to admit there is more to life than just Art Club! Don�t worry if you can�t attend EVERY meeting. While it�s great if you can, we know that there are sports, band, other clubs (shocking as it may be), or just plain being sick, which can keep you from meetings. You can still join Art Club!!! We�re pretty flexible. We hear band is done with its Wednesday practices come November, and sports don�t last the WHOLE year, so just come when you can. We�re toying with the idea of printing up hand-outs at each meeting which will contain the most important information that you�ll miss. Just stop by and pick it up if you�re going to miss! Additionally, there will be this website, which I will update with the latest and greatest ASAP!
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! I cannot believe the number of times students and parents have asked me that!!!! On a completely serious note, I would love it if someone would e-mail me and explain to me why so many people have this misconception about Art Club. There is NO talent and NO experience required to be in the club. You made your �best� project as a 4th grader? Haven�t painted since 5th grade? Barely remember the color wheel from 7th? IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!! We�ll still welcome you into Art Club!!! It�s all about fun, hanging with your friends, developing a healthy appreciation for art, and helping others have positive experiences with art so they don�t have to question their right to be in Art Club!
No!!! Again, there is no talent and no experience necessary to be in Art Club. Besides, as a very smart art student said to me a week ago, �How much of artistic ability is really talent, and how much of it is really practice?� Please come!!! It�s very disturbing to us (Board members and Advisors) that some people are not coming because of this �I have no talent� mindset!!!
As we�ve tried to make clear, the Art Club is open to ALL students. If you�re still NOT sure: this means freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, males, females, and students of any religion or race can participate.
Regular meetings are the second Wednesday of the month. Additional meetings for volunteering, trips, etc, will be announced at meetings, on signs in the Commons, the website, and via announcements in the mornings.
Dues are $5. They are used to fund the things we do in Art Club, such as for supplies.
This is definitely not a problem. You can speak to any of the Board members and Advisors about this in private, and we�ll handle it. Don�t prevent yourself from enjoying after school activities because this is your situation.
Absolutely not. It�s cool if you do, but do not prevent yourself from joining just because, say, you�re really shy and don�t want to teach craft sessions. Not a problem. There�s other ways to be active in the club. Or, if you�re open to trying new things, we can think of alternative solutions. In that situation, how about being one-on-one with a child?
That�s fantastic! We�re totally open to suggestions. Just let one of the Board members in on your idea. (It�s really great if you could jot it down on a piece of paper.)
