• Art for the Journey

  WHY: Art for the Journey looks for people who have a barrier to expressing their creativity and gives them the space, tools, encouragement, and inspiration to make art. Students get to be part of that mission, not just on the receiving end by building their own artistic confidence, but by opting to show artwork through Art for the Journey exhibitions in the greater Richmond area, and (if they so choose) sell it to fund art opportunities for other kids with greater barriers. Work will also be shown at school exhibits. WHAT: An open studio to explore new fun techniques, complete art challenges, create original paintings/drawings, and work on collaborative projects -- all with guidance from professional art instructors. At the first meeting, students will vote on the options for special projects and techniques the club will explore throughout the year.
  WHEN: Thursdays 2:05 - 2:30, with an optional extension through 3:15 as permissed. WHO: All 6th-12th.

• Range

  Range is all things music! In the musical world, a “range” refers to the stretch of notes you can sing or play on your instrument. Our club is called Range because of the stretch of knowledge and skills we will explore throughout the music world. We will work with a variety of instruments, including the brand-new ukuleles the school purchased, sing, and have opportunities to study topics that are specific to what you want to learn. This is your club, so take ownership of it and be thinking of how we can best explore ideas that matter to you!
