Clubs Update

Key Club: Helping the Community Key Club is an international organization for community service that is offered to high school students throughout the world. At Pontiac Township High School, students take great value in the club by helping others and participating in the events that are held by club members. Students can join Key Club at Pontiac High by talking to Mr. or Mrs. Bristow. By joining, students will have access to community service and interaction with their community. The activities students are involved in consist of lunch with the Kiwanis, cleaning up around Pontiac, and most importantly, working in the community one helping hand at a time! By Sunny Holt While many students admire the incredible talent displayed in our halls, they are usually not sure of the process and talent required to create such pieces; also, they are unsure who created the art. In Mr. Vogt’s Art I, the beginner students are finishing two ceramic pinch-pots. Along with this, they are completing a textured tile before finishing their ceramics unit. Their next unit will focus on developing a one-point perspective of a city using precise measurements and creativity. Art II classes are also working on ceramic pieces; having more experience, they are creating more advanced ceramic pieces. They have already made two ceramic rattles and are working on one large-scale coil pot. Although the Art I and Art II classes are focusing on ceramics, Art III has gone a different route. After just completing their time with realistic paintings, they are moving on to a new media: pen. The students are creating their own pen drawings, picking out anything from portraits to animals. Lastly, the AP Art students take a completely different route; with much shorter deadlines, they create their own pieces with a specific theme for their portfolios. After peering through the looking glass of an artist, it is certain that all of their pieces are made with hard work and diligence. Art Update By Becca True
