The arts and crafts club is a new and exciting addition to Menlo School’s clubs. From my email interview with Ms. Silver, she decided that kids might want to learn some of the art technique that is not taught in the 6th, 7th, or 8th grade classes. Ms. Silver is teaching technique that will most likely take more than just one period of clubs to complete. She has been teaching at Menlo for eighteen years and before that she helped write and organize the Art in Action Program at Phillips Brooks School.
The first thing this club did was making string art and discs woven with string. All of the student’s projects will be arranged into a large 3D project that the students will take home. Ms. Silver will be teaching other clubs this year in acrylic, mosaics, texture, and pattern, though this club will not be offered again. Feel free to drop in and make some cool artwork!
