Manga Club 2012-2013

February, 2013 meeting: Origami Extravaganza!!!

December 19, 2012

Great meeting!  We made fir tree origami ornaments with instruction from Mrs. Stout.  Johnnie donated some beautiful origami paper and the finished trees were beautiful!  Club members were recognized for being responsible for shelving the manga collection and treated to hot cocoa.  Our club members do an excellent job taking care of the books and keeping everything straight.  Enjoy the holiday break!!!  See you in January!

Manga Drawing

November 14, 2012
 Jonni Colvin provided an outstanding program on manga drawing for the club.  Seventeen members practiced drawing facial expressions and learned new techniques.  Student members were recognized for their support in caring for the manga collection by keeping it shelved and readily available for all manga readers.  This was an excellent meeting with members learning how to draw manga style faces with the help of an excellent artist!

Suggestion for next month: Origami  Lanterns.

September Meeting

The September 26,2012 Manga Club met in the library with 18 members in attendance.  Membership cards were distributed, Josh was selected as our SCA rep, and ideas for future meetings were discussed.  Members will be reviewing a different series each month and the review will be added to the SHS Shelfari.  We are going to have a manga art lesson next month.  Mrs. Stout instructed the members on how to make an origami (the art of paper folding) star. Check out the photo story for pictures of the finished stars and candy sushi!
