Students from all different art classes at Niles West all come together to create at Art Club, where talented students make all kinds of masterpieces.

Using the seemingly limitless resources given to them, the artists in this club never fail to amaze. Between ceramics, painting, drawing, and more, Art Club is one of the best ways to be creative at Niles West.

“If you love art and you want to be inspired by other people then you should definitely join art club,” said An Luu, a sophomore and member of art club.

One of the biggest changes in art club is the amount of students who are drawing digitally using wacom tablets, a hi-tech drawing tool that lets users draw on the tablet using a stylus, and have the image being drawn show up on a computer monitor.

“There is a big group of kids in there who bring there labtops and their wacom tablets,” said Barbara Wismer, one of the art teachers and the sponsor for art club. “Technology is taking over.”

For the members of Art Club, the welcoming atmosphere is a great way to wind down After nine periods of tests and studying. Between the friendly faces and the resources available to make whatever you want, nothing beats art club for these students.

“You walk around and you see all these amazing drawings and all these artists. Everyone is really friendly, and you can work on whatever you want,” Luu said.

If you are interested in joining Art Club, you can find it every other Wednesday after school from 3:30 – 4:45 in room 1775.
