Arts & Crafts
From the basic to the more complex, daily art room activities develop creative skills of Club members. Projects include coloring contests, holiday themed projects, cultural projects and entrance into local art competitions and exhibitions.

Club Technology Programs:

Website · Introduces youth to the principles and practice of Web design and development. Members begin by creating simple, one-page sites with text and images, and advance to building more robust sites with page links, graphics, text and sound. Along the way, they learn important design lessons about page layout, color choice and graphic weight.

Print Design · Youth learn artistic concepts and technology skills to create professional-quality print materials and animation. By the time members complete the program, they have developed logos, posters, animation and other materials requiring the expertise of a graphic artist.

Music · Youth explore a variety of digital music software applications and basic music theory. They learn to write sheet music, mix musical loops, and compose and record original songs.

Photo Tech · Youth take digital photos, explore the effects of distance and angle, and learn about photo composition. They also learn digital photo manipulation, from basic photo editing tasks, such as cropping and adjusting color and light, to advanced projects that require image filters and layering, such as creating CD cover art.

Video Production · Members can explore the world of digital video software and basic screenplay writing. Youth learn to mix in musical loops and photos and create original short movies.

Netsmartz
