ART CLUB FOR GRADER’S 6-9
Spark Creativity
The Art Club is a place where you can explore different mediums and styles of art or improve what you already know. Learn and teach and talk about art while surrounded by others who love art as much as you do. Express your creativity and build friendships. The Art Club can be a place to get supplies for a project or a place to work on a project. Get involved with ECAC and the local art community, understand and share what you want to see in the local art scene. Participate in community projects. There are so many possibilities when you are part of a group that is interested in the same things you are.
What is the format of the Art Club?
The Art Club is student-led with teacher support. Based on student interest and decisions, there may be theme based meetups, freeform, special guests/instructors. The idea is to have the students provide direction regarding interest and projects. Students can use the time to work on a project, discuss art or share ideas, mediums, techniques… Guidance and feedback is encouraged and drives the direction of the Club.
Is there a fee to participate?
Participants are required to have an ECAC Student Membership. This is an annual membership at $25.00. This does not include supplies.
Supplies, do we need to plan on securing and providing our own supplies or will materials be provided?
The student can provide their own supplies or they can be purchased through ECAC. Supplies are separate from the annual membership fee.
How often will the Art Club meet?
At this time the Art Club will meet once a month. If successful, we could add days later on.
When and Where will the Art Club meet?
3:00—5:00 pm, the third Friday of the Month at the ECAC Gallery—407 Railroad St, downtown Elko.
