Prairie-Hills Junior High School

Art Society

2014-2015

 

When do we meet?  Tuesdays after school from 2:45-4:30

 

Sponsor:  Ms. Leveston

 

 

The main mission of the Art Society is to provide an environment for students, who are either gifted in art or simply interested in art, the opportunity to enhance their artistic skills and knowledge exposure.  It is a community where these students can collaborate with other children who share the same artistic interests as them.  Members also get the opportunity to meet people within the community who are practicing artists or have a career in an art-related field.

 

The Art Society engages in many different activities throughout the year.  Each activity relates to the mission and overall goals of the group.  Below are some examples of things we do each year.
