The Art and Design Club meets every Wednesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. on the third floor of Campbell Hall. They also hold free life drawing sessions on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, Nov. 4, the club spent their meeting finger painting on wooden boards procured by club president Max McEvilly.<\/p>\n
McEvilly, a senior and art major, said that one of the goals of the club is to broaden horizons and give club members a chance to experiment with new mediums and styles.<\/p>\n
He also wants to use the club to quell the anxiety art majors feel about their post-graduation careers.<\/p>\n
The club is not just for art majors as they offer a helpful, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment for anyone who wants to try their hand at creating art.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a small enough club that an individual can come up with an idea of what to do and we can just do it,\u201d McEvilly said.<\/p>\n
Raquel Graham, a first year psychology major, especially enjoyed a collaborative project when a dance instructor asked the club to make masks for a dance show. \u201cIt was cool that my work got to be shown,\u201d she said. She encourages other non-art majors to join the club.<\/p>\n
The Art and Design Club hosted a popular Halloween event last month. \u201cI\u2019m pretty proud of what we did,\u201d McEvilly said, \u201cI hope we can do something even bigger next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
McEvilly has a lot of ideas for the future for the Art and Design Club, including a commission booth in Werner and a painting wall. He encourages Western students to come give the club a try. “It’s a no strings attached kind of club,” he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you like art, it\u2019s a good place for you,\u201d Graham continued. \u201cYou have a lot of fun. You do a lot of things that you normally don\u2019t get to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
