Sturgis’ new Art Club has hit the ground running, planning projects like an IB- themed mural, with each of the members working on a different aspect of the learning profile. Juniors Lily Haselton and Rebecca Liberwirth started the club, voicing their ideas to Ms. Cope who volunteered to be their adviser.
“Lily and I were curious as to why there wasn't one and decided that there should be, so we started one ourselves!” Rebecca recalls.
“We were all surprised and disappointed that there wasn't an art club at Sturgis,” Audrey Petersen says.
When word first got out, there were a lot more people interested, but the numbers slowly dwindled. “We no longer have as many (members), but those we do have are really great about staying dedicated!” said Rebecca.
“I couldn't ask for more dedicated people in the art club, I love how everyone is willing and wanting to be there and contribute each and every week,” added Lily.
The two are still planning for the future of the club, including more projects or even “mini” art lessons.
Other members believe them to be in very capable hands. “I have people to look up to which I think is important because it builds up the spirit for improvement,” Robby Treichel says of his fellow students. “I look forward to going to Art Club every week.”
Every one of these dedicated members are open to more recruits, and art club meets every Friday at lunch over at the art building. “If anyone’s interested in just checking out a meeting, they’re more than welcome to join us! We’re all really friendly, so there’s absolutely no reason to be intimidated!” Audrey says.
