Denver City ISD Art

Gravitt Junior High underwent an entrance renovation courtesy of the 8th grade art students' legacy project, where each student designed and painted one letter of the school's name.

It’s game day in the junior high art room! Students tested their color savvy playing the board game “Hues and Cues”.

From Reyna Matsler (high school art teacher) and the DCHS Art Club- We are DONE! What a way to show resilience transforming this wall! I’m am so proud of all of you for showing up even when it was hard, wind or shine. You know what it takes and see the beauty with every brush stroke you place. My seniors, I hope you look back at this moment and realize you left something beautiful in our town. I will miss all of you as I step down as sponsor, but I know you all will do wonders! ❤️

What a great way to wrap up an art class! Instead of throwing away all the art work (sorry, parents, but that’s what they do with most of it) students chose which pieces to keep intact, and which pieces to cut down for an “explosion book”. This helped us save the best parts of our efforts and create a unique memory book of our year.

No worries, parents, as full versions are still located on Artsonia for access any time.

Sixth and seventh grade art students created over 100 art pieces using the theme “Embracing the Beauty of Bilingualism”, which will be displayed at this summer’s Title III Symposium in San Antonio, Texas.

Here is some of the artwork they worked on:

The “K through ENMU” juried exhibition at ENMU Runnels Gallery hosted a closing reception on Saturday, April 25. A huge congratulations to three art students from Gravitt Jr. High who placed in the Junior High Division: 1st Place- Gelessy Rodriguez for “Autumn Tale”, 2nd Place- Yamilet Garcia for “Me and My Interests”, and Honorable Mention- Star Flores for “High Plains Sunset.”

The community Mental Health Awareness Art Show, sponsored by Dawn Irons and Hope Harbor Counseling, was a success. So many stories and experiences were included in the different art pieces, along with examples of art techniques and practices meant to transform stress into calm. Several art pieces from the high school and junior high artists were included.
