Inspire Art Contest 2015

All 3rd and 4th grade GATE students had the opportunity to enter a piece of art in a Youth Art Month contest sponsored by Marshall Medical Center Foundation.  Students designed each piece of art and chose their medium:  watercolors, acrylics, collage, colored pencils, markers, or crayons.  We had about 60 pieces of art which were so colorful, happy, and creative.  Judges looked over each piece of art and selected the 15 pieces that would represent AES in the MMCS contest.  These 15 were submitted this week and we hope to have some winners from our school (results should be in around the first week of April).

The artists whose work will advance to the contest:

Evan Patterson          Levi Hester               Ethan Williams         Olivia Brothers

INSPIRE Art Contest 2014

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:

4th grade

Jaylee O'Dell

Kinsley Little

Tristan Golden

Jensyn Seay

INSPIRE Art Contest 2013

I LOVE kids' artwork!  It makes me happy!  My classroom is filled with happiness right now.  All of the GATE students have created a piece of original art to be considered for entry in the INSPIRE Art Contest sponsored by Marshall Medical Centers.  This contest is in celebration of Youth Art Month...or as we call it at AES...YAM!

Students used their 'productive thinking' talent to think of the "many, varied, and unusual" ideas they could paint that would be appropriate and inspiring to visitors and patients at Marshall Medical Center South's Women's Hospital.  Then, students used their 'decision making talent' to write their top 5 choices of topic, list criteria questions, rate their answers, and decide their best option for their artwork.  Students also used this decision making talent to decide which medium to use to create their art:  watercolor, collage, acrylic paints, pastels, or colored pencils/crayons.  These higher order thinking skills will be useful and relevant to the students in school and as adults.

Outside judges selected 15 of the pieces to represent AES in the contest.  These pieces of art have been matted and placed in plastic sleeves for a professional look.  I will be taking these to the MMCS office on Wednesday to enter in the contest.  The MMC Foundation Board will select winners.  Our contest includes schools from Albertville, Boaz, Sardis, Geraldine, and Crossville.  Good luck to our AES students!

Winning students will be notified by April 8th.  MMCS will hold a reception in honor of the winning artists on April 25th in the lobby of the Women's Hospital.  Selected artwork will hang in the Inspire Art Display for an entire year!
