GIMP for Gala (Seventh Grade Digital Art, 2012-2013)
Mr. Chambers' seventh grade classes used GIMP (graphic arts software - Photoshop
equivalent) to make Digital Art for the Tejano Center for Community
Concerns (TCCC)-Raul Yzaguirre School for Success (RYSS) Gala (October 19, 2012). They utilized existing photographs made
by RYSS students on various field trips with the Houston Audubon
Society. Twenty-six pieces were put up for silent auction at the gala.
The students trained with the GIMP software to be able to teach it. A core group (22) traveled with Mr. Chambers
to Harmony Hills Elementary School, San Antonio, Texas,
[October 9] to teach second graders (taught by Ms. Yolanda Vaness) how to use the software for future projects [workshop]. Also, their (RYSS
students) Digital Art will be shown at the 8th Annual Carnival of e-Creativity (CeC 2013), Sattal Estate, India, February 22-24, 2013. Mr. Chambers is an Advisory Board Member for CeC.
