Clubs in the Community Day

NAHS members did a great job on the North Springs Clubs in the Community Day! We took on the project of fixing up our school's Champlin Gallery. This involved tons of spackling, sanding, sweeping, painting, etc.! Many hands made the work go surprisingly fast, though. Thanks to everyone who worked on the gallery - it is going to look much improved for the 2010 Juried Show opening soon!

GA NAHS Conference

From Friday the 12th to Sunday the 14th, the North Springs chapter of NAHS was representing at the GA conference (hosted by SCAD and the Savannah Arts Academy). At the conference, we went to workshops, dinners with other students and teachers, listened to speakers, got tours of various facilities, visited Savannah, etc. Eva won a scholarship for an Art History exam taken on Friday.

Unfortunately, Eva, Eden, and Zach also entered art into scholarships, but their art was misplaced during judging (returned later). A good job to them for their efforts, and sorry about the confusion that was out of our hands!

It was a fun weekend - although we missed the snow in Atlanta, we did get to see some rare snow falling in Savannah!

Spalding Elementary Artists

Last week, Eden and Eva went to Spalding Drive Charter Elementary to help Ms. Baker's 1st grade class with a project. The kids had fun decorating a ceramic tray that Ms. Sweat made. Once the tray is fired - I will post a picture. The tray will be up for auction at Spalding Drive Elem.
Great job to the creative kids and Ms. Sweat!

NAHS at the Open House

Today was the North Springs Open House - It was great meeting so many nice people and cool prospective students! If anyone has any questions about the visual arts magnet program or the National Art Honor Society feel free to email me (Eva Berlin) at

Foster Cares

Hey everyone,
I want to give tons of thanks and appreciation to Josh, Eden, Marissa, Zach, and Gerry for their work Saturday.
and thank you to Marissa for telling us about Foster Cares - which is such a cool organization. Check them out at FosterCares.org
They do quite an impressive job at helping the foster children of Georgia - and there is no other organization like them in Georgia - or really even in the whole country.

We did some glitter-abundant crafts, hung out with some tykes, sorted clothing, etc. You guys earned those service hours, for sure.

awesome job!

Induction was great! Thanks guys!

Hey everyone.
the induction ceremony the other night came off very successfully. I appreciate everyone -new members, old members, parents, and teachers - for coming to our Champlin gallery, bringing food, and looking snazzy. We gave all the inductees certificates and the NAHS flower (red carnation). Ms. Sweat said some inspiring words, as did Mr. Nick, our guest speaker. We very much appreciate him coming to talk and spend the evening with us. Congratulations, guys!

See you guys tomorrow at the Foster Cares kids crafts session!

Some Information About Who We Are:

In 1978 the National Art Education Association (NAEA) began the National Art Honor Society (NAHS) program specifically for high school students, for the purpose of inspiring and recognizing those students who have shown an outstanding ability in art. The NAHS strives to aid members in working toward the attainment of the highest standards in art areas, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community.

• We are creative students striving to spread the arts
• We do art-related volunteering and community work. We have beautified our school, donated art to hospitals, created art for charity auctions, etc.
  
• We enter our artwork in competitions, juried shows, festivals, and art sales at our school's Champlin Art Gallery.
• We consistently send members of our society to Georgia Governor's Honor Program with a major in Visual Arts

More Reasons To Join?

1. Students become members of a distinguished group of over 33,000 art students.
2. Students are eligible for the Rising Star Secondary Recognition Award.
3. Students are eligible to receive the Charles M. Robertson Memorial Scholarship -- a special four-year scholarship to Pratt Institute School of Art and Design in New York.
4. Students will not only receive NAHS News twice a year, but will also have an opportunity to have their achievements featured in the issues.
5. Impress colleges! Institutions of higher education view the NAHS as a mark of accomplishment.

Painting Adirondacks

The Adirondack committee painted 2 handmade chairs for a charity auction. The Miracle Ball and art auction, held in October at the Mason Murer Fine Arts Gallery, benefited The Link Community Counseling Center.
The above is a photo of the committee and their argyle chair design
