    WHAT WILL ART CLUB MEETINGS LOOK LIKE?
    Art Club is not a class. There are no grades or deadlines, and members will not be penalized for missing meetings. In Art Club we experiment with a variety of art materials and tools in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Students are presented with a theme or project at each meeting and have the option to make art independently or with other club members.
