Each year Marshall Medical Centers celebrate Youth Art Month by sponsoring a student art contest. The theme each year is INSPIRE. G.A.T.E. students use higher order thinking skills to help guide them through this process. They use PRODUCTIVE THINKING to think of all the many, varied, and unusual things they could paint or draw for this contest. Our students are great productive thinkers and have many ideas to choose from. Next, they use DECISION MAKING skills to decide which idea they will use and also which medium with which to create their art. These thinking skills will help them in life -- now and as adults!
Students could choose watercolors, acrylic paints, pastels, colored pencils, markers, crayons, or torn paper collage. AES G.A.T.E. students participated in this contest. Our school is allowed to enter 15 pieces of art. Judges had a hard time deciding which works of art would represent AES! Congratulations to the following students:
