Palette Pals is a weekly art club that I have been 

involved in since freshman year. Though the name wasn't

always "Palette Pals", it has always been art club. In the past, 

I have been a member, secretary, vice president, and I'm currently

president. In years previous, art club has been a chance for students to spend extra time on class projects and use mediums that aren't often practiced in the classroom, such as oil paints. As president of art club, I made it my own this year by organizing weekly activities that each of the members can participate in. I also make sure that snack is available every week and sometimes organize parties to celebrate various holidays. Our largest parties, the Halloween party and the Christmas party are described below with examples of the presentations that would be shown at each meeting.

       The club is relevant to the creation of the Art Festival because in order to allow students to sell artwork at the festival, we needed a club to funnel the collected funds into. Art club was also a place where I could notify students of Art Festival updates and encourage them to participate either through submitting artwork or volunteering for the night of the event.
