St. Ann's Christmas Tree at the Museum of the Southwest!

Come and enjoy the beautifully festive Christmas trees this season at the Museum of the Southwest right here in Midland, Texas! The 5th Grade Art Students of St. Ann's School completed their Printmaking unit and created some amazing Stars of Bethlehem. The printing was done on small muslin bags and became tree ornaments to remind us all what the real gift of Christmas really is....the birth of baby Jesus! It doesn't matter what is in the bags and under the tree, for the real gift has already been given. Praise the Lord!

3-D Mother's Day Cards!

Students learned how to create a card with a flower that actually grew off the page! 

We just hope the Momma's loved looking at them as much as we loved making them!

EARTH DAY 2016

St. Ann's Art Students got to have a taste of creating art in the outdoors!

They learned about how to save our earth, save some trees, plant some trees, and have fun doing it all.

All 235 students played a part in painting two new cement benches with Earth Day art.

They were blessed by Monsignor Droll on Earth Day and dedicated to the Middle School Building.

3D Easter Crosses - Textiles

The 3rd Graders created their very own 3D Art Easter Cross Creations. They learned about Recycled Art and how you can create beauty from objects you find all around you. They used wooden sticks from trees to form the cross, straw strings to tie the cross together, a small piece of clay as the base, and pieces of material and ribbon as the drapery over the cross. Each cross was to represent what the artist thought of Easter/ How Easter made them feel. Some artists felt the sad and the darkness of the Easter story so they used dark colored textiles over the horizontal of the cross, and others felt the glory and happiness of the Risen Lord and used bright, shiny colors.
For more information on a wonderful textile artist in our region, look up Wayne Hilton, a 3D artist specializing in New Mexico icons! He has been the featured artist inner very own Centennial Library. His exhibit is called "Otra Vez".

WALL ST. LOFT/DOWNTOWN ART - DREW ROBERTSON

CONGRATULATIONS TO DREW ROBERTSON!!!!

Drew's Art was chosen to be displayed in downtown Midland at the Wall Street Lofts!
This was a new idea by both the building owner and the Museum of the Southwest to choose 5 works of art to be displayed in very large format on the outside wall of the Wall Street Lofts. There were 3 students, and 2 adults who were selected. The mayor of Midland, Mr. Morales, was there to award the winners. He liked the idea so much, that he announced he would be encouraging other building owners to agree to display more art around the downtown area. Drew was even interviewed by Channel 2 News!
We are so proud of you, Drew! Way to go!
