How it works
A club needs three things drawn: a poster that says when and where, a logo, and a shirt. Each of these 60 art club poster ideas, logos and shirt prints comes with a layout and a color count.
Read the full guide
Art club logo ideas
Logos holds marks that read in one or two colors at the size of a thumbnail: a pencil and a brush crossed inside a ring of the club's initials, or a crown whose points are five upright brushes. Draw yours small first. If it blurs, take a part away.
Art club T shirt design ideas
T-shirts holds prints in two colors at most, each marked front, back or sleeve. Posters holds join-us sheets, and each hint says where the details go.
Write the room, the day and the time before drawing anything. They are what the poster is for.
Hold the poster at arm's length and squint. The club's name should still read.
Questions and answers
What should an art club poster say?
The club's name, the room, the day and the time. The posters here give them a place of their own: a curl of pencil shaving, a blob on a palette, a windowsill, the foot of the sheet.
What is a good logo for an art club?
One a member can redraw from memory. The Logos group keeps to simple shapes: a ring of small tools around an empty middle, an easel in three lines, the word ART with a brush as the crossbar of the T.
What can you put on an art club shirt?
A small mark on the chest and something larger on the back. Try a small palette where a pocket would be, with a back print listing members' names as paint swatches.
What are easy poster ideas for an art club?
The 12 marked Easy include big block letters A R T, each filled a different way, a single paint drip running the full height of the sheet, and a ring of members' handprints around the words Join us.
