![The art room saw dozens of artistically inclined students fill its tables, scattering art supplies across every surface as they began to make art. While individual motivations for attendance differed, the shared love of creating filled the room as students worked. “I'm here because I love art, and I had an art class last semester. I really loved it and I wanted to get into a club where I could continue my passion and learn more. I’d like to focus more on doing more on colored pencils because I’d really like to develop my skill in that area. I'm [also] really excited about doing community service projects like the Art and Thrift,” magnet junior Claire Scafidi said.](https://nchschant.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/art-club-cover-900x529.jpg)
