In celebration of Youth Art Month and in light of COVID's impact on our ability to gather together with campus communities for special fine arts evenings and experiences, it is with a great deal of pride that we highlight the continued growth and experiences we are continuing to offer our face-to-face and AVL students in Alvin ISD.
Across our district and representing each campus, students have entered and excelled in annual contests, such as The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Art Contest, Visual Arts Scholastic Event for our secondary campuses, TEAM for our elementary students and the Society for the Performing Arts contest.
In addition to contests, there are students at each high school campus, including RISE Academy, working towards completing Advanced Placement Drawing, 2D and 3D design art portfolios which will be submitted in May.
Our students have studied multiple art forms and tied historical and contemporary contexts to their own work, at every grade level. Above all else, during this challenging time our AVL and face-to-face students continue to be challenged through dynamic lesson design, creative use of materials due to COVID limitations, and navigating brand new formats for safely creating and submitting artwork. Students and art teachers continue to build lasting relationships and use visual arts voice as a critical and necessary outlet to express what is impacting their lives each day.
Thank you for the continued support of our outstanding fine arts programs in Alvin ISD during Youth Art Month and every day of the year.
