Middle School Art Club - Winter/Spring 2026

Middle School Art Club (Grades 6th–8th)
Join us every Saturday from 1:00–3:00pm for a creative deep-dive into the art world!  Each week, students will explore a different medium or technique - drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, and more - while also learning about both historical and contemporary artists who inspire these techniques. Students may choose to participate in the weekly activity or work on their own independent projects, with guidance from the teacher as it is available. This club is perfect for young artists who want to build skills, experiment boldly, and explore personal interests.

A minimum of 7 students is required for the club to run.
