Are you looking for some extra activities on campus to relieve stress from studying? Joining GCC Art Club – Art Connections can be a great choice to have fun during your semester! GCC Art Club is calling for students who are interested in art to join its ongoing process of creating four art panels installation, which will soon be hung in the Student Union. Starting from Jan. 21, the club has held meetings every Friday from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M. at the Fine Arts Painting Studio (FA-133). All GCC students are welcome to join the club and discuss ideas for this project.
There is nothing to worry about if your major is not Fine Arts as it only requires enrolling in at least three credits. If you are willing to join, fill in your contact information and either return it to your instructor, bring it to the FA office FA-101, or send the online form (link here) to Diane Sanborn, Faculty and ART Connections Club Advisor, (diane.sanborn@gccaz.edu).
The project focuses on the theme called “the unification of student body,” considering the experience in the last two years of tumultuary and the wish for hopefulness and communication via an artistic perspective. As a new member, you will be introduced to four different art styles: Pop Art, Contemporary Art, Post-Impressionism, and Neo-Expressionism (or Street Art). After that, you can choose your favorite style and join its group. You will participate in the installation project at no cost since all the art supplies needed are provided in the club.
This is a great chance to make new friends who are also interested in art like you while learning some painting skills and creating great memories in Art Connections. Now that you have some fantastic ideas in your mind? GCC Art Club is willing to listen to you and bring it to life! What could hold you back from this opportunity to join us?
Hello Thy,
Great job on letting us know about the Glendale Community College’s Art Club! You have given us much information about how to look into joining the club and what it is about. This sounds like a great club to join if you are interested in making art.
I think joining clubs is a great way to make new connections and friendships especially when it is in something that interests you. When classes are online or in person, it can be difficult to make these connections because the students are focused on their school work. I have taken in person and online classes at GCC, and I never made any real connections to anyone. It is definitely different from when we were in elementary, junior high, and high school. We do not see these people nearly as often, and we are paying for our education so we are trying to get our money’s worth. However, I have made some great friends when I have joined clubs in the past.
If I had the time, I would look more into joining, but at the moment I don’t. Maybe next semester I could look more into joining. Thanks for sharing about the Art Club!
Hi Thy,
This is a great post!
Before the pandemic, I would pass by the club fairs that were held on campus. Unfortunately, I didn’t pay much attention to them since I was in a rush on my way to class, or on my way home. All of my classes are online now, so I rarely go to campus now. Since I can’t go to the club fairs in person, it’s nice to have the chance to learn about one of the clubs here. Clubs are a great opportunity for others to meet new people and engage in their hobbies.
I think it’s cool that the club has different art styles that you can choose from. When I think of painting, I usually think of realism, so I find it fascinating that other art styles are being explored.
With the toll that the pandemic has taken on all of us, being able to express those feelings with art is a really great idea. It makes total sense for the theme for this year’s project. I’m excited to see the installation.
It is past the deadline to join the art club now, but I may consider it in the future. Thank you for sharing information about the Art club.
Hi Cheska, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts about the Art Club! I appreciate your interest in art, and you don’t have to worry about the deadline at all. As I’m a member of the club now, you can still visit every Friday from 9 A.M. and we work until 12 P.M. I’m excited to see you in the club if you decide to join us!
