 The Headwaters Art Club has spent the past few months creating a variety of different art pieces and this week they finally got to show them off. Reporter Cheryl Moore introduces us to the young artists for this week's In Focus. Headwaters Music and Arts in Bemidji has made it their mission to not only help adults in creative fields but to also give tools to the next generation. Our art club was established thanks to some funding from the Roundup program through Beltrami Electric last spring. The Headwaters Art Club is open to anyone between the ages of 9 and 13. It provides a safe and supportive space to make high-quality art. The young artists also get to meet other crafty kids just like them. The friends and pottery. Seeing my friends and also pottery. We get to work with clay and paint and we also have worked with paper mache. They worked with different artists and learned art theory, hands-on art, so it's not just crafts and not just being busy. This was the art club's last session, so they celebrated with pizza and ice cream. They also got to show off their pieces to their family. Most of the kids will tell you that a lot of thought went into their work. We were doing watercolor and then doing the ink over it, which I think was kind of cool. Paper bag tree and I made a tiny puff ball kitty in it. The hider, I'm pretty sure it was that because you can like hide in bushes and it'll look like well you're just part of the bush. From a Paris perspective, some say that as a whole Headwaters has given their kid a nice place to reach their artistic potential. Headwaters gives you I guess that center point, you know, that place that you can go to express yourself, to learn, to grow, and exchange thoughts and ideas and philosophy with people. And a lot of these young artists will tell you they're just grateful to have the opportunity to learn from some of the best. They are super nice and they help you through if you have questions and I really like Headwaters. Reporting in Bemidji with this week's In Focus, Cheryl Moore, Lakeland News.
