Bartlett Hosts Friends and Family Art Club

Creativity Comes Through Action. ​

On Wednesday, February 26, 2020 the Bartlett Art Department opened up its weekly art club to friends, family, and faculty for some art making fun! 

This was the BHS Art Department's second time opening up the art club to community members. Nine different families were represented including many Bartlett alumni. It was a wonderful opportunity for art students to give family members a view into their world.  Many art students across all grades have been working diligently through class, study hall, and after school to produce high quality and carefully designed bowls for our Empty Bowls event happening April 17th. 

Amber Johnson (senior) said of the experience, "Even though my dad couldn't participate in the art-making, I am glad he came to see me work and enjoy the art department atmosphere." 

Eren Torres (sophomore) was joined by her mom and sister. "It was a good experience to have people in your life see what you do on a day to day basis." History teacher Stefanie Appleby shared a similar sentiment about the experience of seeing students in a different context: "I value seeing my students in their element and learning from them." ​

Thank you to all of the community members that joined us! We look forward to seeing you at Empty Bowls!
