Students create and develop their own portfolios while fostering personal artistic style. Artists from the community come to speak to our students about the art world and how to make a living in it. Our annual UIL, or VASE, competition sparks pride in personal works that take time and dedication to complete. Our students leave the program with strong artistic skills and the confidence they need to continue making art. We don't merely teach art skills. We teach artistic habits where art students collaborate, are creative, communicate, and think critically.
Our awards include:
- Scholastic Award Winners
- State VASE Winners
- U.S. Congressional Art Winners
- Adopt-A-Classroom Recipients
- National Recognized NAHS Chapter
Our teachers are proud to be a part of both the Texas Art Education Association and of the National Art Education Association.
