And the good news keeps coming! Congratulations Destiny Hinojosa for making it as a finalist in the ArtEffect competition- Unsung Heros. Destiny’s piece, Reversing Columbus, celebrates Oscar Howe- a modernist painter and arts educator who challenged art institutions’ preconceptions about Native American art.

Double congratulations to our TWO winners of the Houston Livestock and Rodeo School Art Graphic Design Contest! Joshua Hernandez placed 7th and Emma Purinton won 1st place- her poster design will be the official visual for all marketing of the HLSR Art Contest! We couldn’t be more excited for her and her teacher Stephanie Martinez.

Elora Sanford 11th, received a VASE Gold Seal Award for her mixed media artwork titled, Same Parts. This is the highest level of recognition in the state visual art scholastic event. Elora’s piece will be part of a traveling exhibition of Gold Seal works. Exhibit locations in Houston, Austin, Plano and Galveston include the Center for Educator Development in Fine Arts.

Congratulations Elora Sanford for winning an award for Technical Achievement at the High Art exhibition at University of Houston Downtown! We’re so proud of you!

A huge thank you to all who came out yesterday to the annual AISD Spring Show at Liberty Hall!

The AHS Art Department and NAHS proudly present “Candy Garden,” our submission for the 39th annual Houston Art Car parade. Ms. Little will drive our entry down Allen Parkway in the parade on Saturday, April 11th. The van is on display at Alvin High School today and will also be at the AISD Spring Art Show at Liberty Hall on April 28th.

So much love and hard work went into crafting this incredible moving art piece. Our Sculpture and Art 1 students made the plaster sculptures on the roof and hood, our Drawing and Painting students drew and painted the mural on the sides of the van, and our Ceramics students made ceramic bug magnets for the hood. NAHS oversaw this project for the past 6 weeks, and a grant from the AISD Education Foundation provided the supplies.

When you see an Art student, give them a high five! And come out to the parade on Saturday to cheer us on!

Ms.James’s Art 1 students have been practicing one point perspective and created these awesome tape murals in our hallways.

Art students and NAHS members spent 2 days with Ms. Hart and Ms. Little painting a mural for the Alvin Girls Softball League at Pearson Park. We had a great time working on this community art project, and the building looks awesome!
