On March 19, 2025, I had the pleasure of interviewing members of the Art Club at Maranatha Christian Academy. I spoke with Mrs. Nelson, MCA's long-standing art teacher. Over the years, she has guided many students through their artistic journeys in the classroom and through Art Club. Her favorite part about leading the club is spending time with students who share her passion for art. It's clear she finds joy in inspiring young artists and helping them grow in their creativity.
When asked about her favorite project so far this year, Mrs. Nelson mentioned the Chinese brush painting unit, which brought unique cultural techniques into the classroom. Looking ahead, she hopes the club will have the opportunity to complete a service project, such as painting a mural or using their artistic talents to benefit the community. She also emphasized how important leadership has been in running the club smoothly. If she were to recommend the club to others, she would simply say it's a fun and creative outlet for students to express themselves and develop their artistic skills.
