——Keeley Oak, an eighth-grader, paints at Art Night. 美国学校打造星期五艺术之夜。

Friday night is a good time to have fun as the week comes to an end. But Tri-City United School in Minnesota, US, took this to a new level. The school turned Friday into Art Night.

Art Night ran from 5 to 10 pm every Friday. It allowed students to get creative with paint, clay (陶土) and temporary tattoos (暂时性纹身). The members of the high school ARTeam came up with the idea.

Thirty-six students registered (报名) for this activity. They were divided into three groups for 75-minute sessions (授课时间) of painting, pottery (陶器) making and henna (指甲花) design, with a pizza break in between. At the end of the night, students could take their work home.

Out of the three sessions, henna was the most popular. It’s the art of making beautiful tattoo patterns and has been practiced for more than 5,000 years in Southeast Asia. And it has recently become more popular in the US.

The art teacher Aimee Fisher traveled to India last year and learned henna. Then, she taught students how to do it at Art Night. “I’m really excited to do henna,” student Sarah Colwell told Le Center Leader, a local newspaper. “I’ve gotten it done on me, but I have never done it by myself.”

In fact, this is just the beginning of their art journey. From March 3 to April 9, they will have their annual (每年的) student Art Show display at the Arts and Heritage Center in Montgomery. Students are in charge of (负责) the show by themselves.
