Fine Arts

Students experiment and explore all types of 2D and 3D media in art classes. Self expression and learning drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and digital skills is the focus in Art I, while Art II and Art III Honors focuses on further development of those skills and preparing students for AP Art. 

In the 2021-2022 school year our art students saw great success in the classroom as well as in local, regional, and statewide competitions. We took three pieces to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and also had three students who were chosen to compete in their Quick Draw Contest. Two students qualified at the V.A.S.E. regional event and went on to compete at the state level in San Marcos, TX. Two Barbers Hill art students were awarded college scholarships totaling $88,000.
