<font size="1">The art club is the perfect place for Sedona's creative types to share their passions, and experiment with different art forms in a friendly environment. Club meets every Thursday at 4pm - see you there!</font>

The first session of Art Club is now open. Please keep an eye open for another post declaring when to wrap up, and a final post of when the session is over.

Yuri entered the Art Club with her sketchbook in hand, eager to share tips with others in the club. Not one to spend a ton of money on art supplies, she usually looked to various things around her room to help her enhance her drawings, like Q-Tips or makeup sponges. She hoped others would have equally helpful bits of advice. Looking around the room, she sat at a desk and tapped her fingers on her leg to the beat of a song that was stuck in her head as she waited.

Derek hesitantly stepped into the room with a few of his art supplies stuffed into a bag. He normally liked to keep his art to himself and rarely shared it with others but since he had nothing to do Thursday afternoons and homework hadn't started to pile up yet, he decided to at least give it a chance.

He saw Yuri, the girl he had met in the bookstore, sitting at one of the desks. Not wanting to come off forward and trying to be smooth, Derek sat down at a desk near her hoping she would speak up first.

Yuri was too busy trying to remember the next line of the song that was stuck in her head to notice when someone had entered the room. Furrowing her eyebrows in concentration, she knew this was going to bug her until she figured it out. However, movement out of the corner of her eye caught her attention and she turned her head to see Derek.

"Oh, hey!" she said with a smile, turning fully to face him. "Dunno if you remember me, I'm the one that talks too much."

Derek was happy to hear Yuri and he turned towards her smiling. He laughed and shook his head. "Yeah, you're definitely not the type of person someone forgets," he said. "It's not a bad thing though, it just makes you very memorable." He smiled once more, hoping that this didn't offend her. "So, have you always been in art club?"

Yuri simply smiled pleasantly as Derek said she was memorable, not thinking anything of it. She was typically the one who was good at remembering people so she was glad someone remembered her. She looked down at her sketchbook and back up at Derek, nodding enthusiastically. "Yeah," she said. "I was kinda shy freshman year but I thought, what the hell, you know? There's a bunch of pretentious douches in the club but a lot of art majors are." She gave a shrug and a laugh, shaking her head. "So I'm surprised you were able to get away from all those scary law books."

This session is now closed. Keep an eye for the next one!
