Mrs. Ratcliff’s art classes at Catalayah Elementary have been diving into the work of Vincent van Gogh, studying his famous paintings Sunflowers and The Starry Night.

After exploring his unique style and techniques, students put their creativity to work by designing their own Van Gogh–inspired masterpieces using Sharpies, watercolors, and oil pastels.

Their artwork is full of color, movement, and imagination—what a beautiful way to bring art history to life! 🎨✨

Fine Arts Stays WINNING!

This summer, four of our incredibly talented students will attend the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain, a prestigious, immersive 2-week residential academy designed for Oklahoma’s most advanced high school artists.

This opportunity doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of years of dedication, growth, and hard work, and we couldn’t be more proud of these students for earning their place. Even more impressive, they’ve each received full-ride scholarships to attend.

While there, they’ll train in their chosen artistic disciplines alongside more than 230 top student artists from across the state, learning from professional, award-winning instructors and continuing to refine their craft.

Please join us in congratulating:
Paige Brower (12th grade)
Crow Bratt (12th grade)
Shayne Schornick (11th grade)
Izabella Contino (11th grade)

Your commitment to your art shows, and this achievement is so well deserved. We can’t wait to see all that you accomplish this summer and beyond! 🦓✨

Room 701 Vocal Jazz had an incredible experience at Southern Nazarene University’s Vocal Jazz Festival!

After performing for two expert vocal clinicians, the group took part in an engaging 30-minute workshop focused on refining their musical performance and elevating their sound.

To top it off, students stepped into a professional recording studio to record one of their standout selections. This exciting opportunity means Room 701 will be featured on a compilation playlist alongside other talented schools from the festival!

What an unforgettable day of growth, music, and excellence!

This week in Ms. Hoffer’s Art I class, students took on a unique and exciting challenge, creating drawings with pencils attached to long sticks instead of holding them in their hands like usual!

By adding physical distance between the artist and the paper, students had to let go of control. Every line became less about precision and more about movement, gesture, and trusting the process.

At first, the activity felt a little awkward and even frustrating, but that was the point! When perfection isn’t possible, creativity takes over. Students loosened up, took risks, and started to fully embraced the “mess.” 🎨✨
