| Creative Arts Club
|
Get creative together with international students, share your perspective on art, and enjoy all forms of it together!
This club is for art-loving students who like to see plays and other kinds of live performances and attractions. It is also for those who like to write stories, poetry, or essays. On top of that, the club is open to those who draw, paint, take photographs, sing, dance, or make short videos or movies. The fellow club members review and edit each other’s work and collaborate on various interesting ideas, take ‘creative’ field trips together, and unite in appreciative art events.
