Art Club

The Art Club is a weekly gathering of Kingsborough students to sketch, draw and paint in a safe, friendly and encouraging environment. Students in the art department are able to hone their skills and work on their projects during club hours, and benefit from constructive feedback from fellow students and the faculty advisor. Students with little to no art training are encouraged to sketch, draw, and paint with guidance as needed from more experienced students. Basic art materials such as sketchbooks, pencils, brushes and paints are provided. Along with our weekly hands-on gatherings, other Art Club events include speakers and local museum visits.

Animation Club

Club Description:

The Kingsborough Animation Club is a great way for students to get animated! The club visits animation studios, has professional animators as guest speakers, attends animation screenings, and more. In the past, club members have visited Titmouse Animation (creators of shows for Adult Swim) and Rauch Bros. Animation. We've attended the Animation Show of Shows at SVA, and the annual ASIFA animation awards ceremony. It's a great way to learn more about what the professional industry is all about and make connections.

Sculpture Club

The Sculpture Club at Kingsborough is a student organization for anyone interested in art and particularly sculpture. Sculpture club is a way that students can become more involved in sculpture and have access to things they may not get from classes, such as: guest lecturers, museum and gallery tours/foundry tours/studio visits/sculpture demonstrations/presentation of work/etc.

The club hosts guest speakers who are successful working sculptors. This is a chance for students to see the artist's work, ask questions, and get helpful tips or advice.

Everyone is welcome to join the Sculpture Club and there are no prerequisites. The Sculpture Club meets in room S157 (sculpture studio). There will be flyers and announcements when the club meets. We have several events/ lectures throughout the calendar year and one end-of-semester party. Club officers are elected at the beginning of the fall semester (and sometimes again in the spring). Regular club meetings are held every other Wednesday.
