New MS Art Club
10/8/2009, Laurie Ihlenfield
Our new Middle School Art Club allows students to use their creative God-given talents to work on projects that may not be possible in the typical time-sensitive classroom environment. The students are encouraged to participate in coming up with project ideas and subject matter that may interest them. The students will learn to take a creative idea and transform it into a finished piece of art or product. The first project involves creating a skin for a skateboard.
