Big Art Day 2018
Big Art Day is an art happening sponsored by the Texas Art Education Association to kickoff national Youth Art Month and raise awareness of art education and art as a creative force in our communities on a BIG statewide and national scale. Special art events will be happening all over the state.
For Big Art Day, East Central High School Art Club and National Art Honor Society participated in a special collaborative "Action Painting" work of art . This work will be part of a work to be completed at a later date.
Arbol de la Vida: Voces de Tierra
80 ECHS artists from the sculpture classes, several drawing classes and the Art 1 Pre AP class created sculptures for a permanent large scale community sculpture that will be unveiled later this year. The ECHS artists were some of 700 San Antonio artists asked to create works for the Arbol de la Vida: Voces de Tierra sculpture designed by nationally renowned artist Margarita Cabrera. She was commissioned by the SA River Authority to create an artwork created by the community for the 300 year celebration of San Antonio's founding. Ms. Cabrera came to East Central HS in October to inspire our students to create sculptures that tell stories of San Antonio agriculture connected to personal stories of the students' families.
