ARCHERY CLUB
ART CLUB
Mrs. BACON'S ART CLUB
The Thursday afternoon art club is to expose
interested students to different media and techniques that may not be
available in their general art classes. The students will be able to
experience clay, basket weaving, painting and other activities that may be too
expensive to introduce to an entire grade in the regular art curriculum.
Students are able to choose from at least two activities each activity period.
This club is made up of mainly a craft based activities, but depending on
student interest, and authorization, the students can also paint murals in the
school. There is a multi-media approach in which students can expand, and
explore more media, and their talents.
TUESDAY'S WITH MS. T
The goal of this club is to link the subject of
Art to everyday life, Functional Art, as well as to further each
student’s development with various materials and techniques. Students will
construct functional pieces of jewelry using leather, plastic, stainless
steel, and beads. Also, they will construct various forms of clay pots and
boxes, make Mardi Gras masks, make an animal using plaster craft.
