Art Club is open to all KMS students who wish to explore different types of art projects in depth. The club is individualized to the needs of the group. Art Club meets once a week and concentrates on one of the arts for several sessions, so students can develop strength in an area they enjoy, beyond what they do in class. Commitment and joy in creating are the requirements.
