Art Club is starting up again this year, and it’s coming back in a big way. “We have five times the students we had last year.” says Mr. Savaglio, one of the art teachers and the head of Art Club. “ As a result, we are able to work on more projects at once.” The projects range from improving the Michelangelo mural to designing the cover of the yearbook and even to adding more colors and textures to the German room.

In Mr. Veenstra’s room a unique art project is going to be happening. Art Club members are asking every TPA teacher, who was the most influential figure for them. Then, the members are going to draw 11-inch by 14-inch portraits of those influential figures. The portraits are going to be displayed on the wall of Mr. Veenstra’s room for all of us to admire.

And if all of that isn’t enough, Art Club has another project up their sleeves. Inspired by an art exhibit seen by TPA’s own Mr. Granville, “Art Club is going to give a teacher, starting with Doc (Hickernell), a canvas with chalkboard paint which they can take notes on. The day they receive it, they will write all of their notes on it. Art Club will then take it and turn it into a permanent art piece,” Mr. Savaglio explains. The project is going to be a great way for TPA teachers to express their unique personalities and styles.

Art Club is working on a large amount of projects, but they are definitely able to handle it. If you are looking to join Art Club or just would like some more information, contact Mr. Savaglio or attend an Art Club meeting on Thursdays. Enjoy and happy creating.
