Carrill Art Studio

Aly Carrill Grober is also an art instructor at Texas School of the Arts. Her artistic style inspires her students to just try their best and have fun as they explore unique ways to express their creativity.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Mrs. Grober, thank you so much for celebrating cultures and teaching our children of the different months to recognize diversity. A bonus of having virtual lessons is that I am able to learn arts along side my daughter. I even do my own art project along side her. We enjoy the art sessions!!"

"Even through the computer she (Aly Carrill-Grober) is inspiring these kids to develop a deep love and appreciation for the visual arts!"

“The art teacher (at Texas School of the Arts) is an angel, seriously. My daughter is a major perfectionist and Mrs. Grober has given her so much encouragement to try new things and not be afraid of making mistakes. She’s made her feel so safe and loved, and it’s just a really special thing that goes beyond teaching art itself (which she is also great at)."

GPS Inspired Earth Drawing

GPS Inspired Earth Drawing

This project is inspired by Gladys Mae West and her work toward developing GPS, Global Positioning System. She is a Mathematician known for using satellite data to map out the Earth's surface. Earlier this month, we imagined what space looks like as an astronaut. How do astronauts know where to land when they come back to Earth? How do you know where you are going when going somewhere new? GPS: Global Positioning System uses satellites to locate your position and helps maps direct you where you need to go. We owe this technology to Gladys Mae West, who is both an African American and a woman. We are still celebrating Women's History Month in March. So lets be inspired by this amazing woman as we create a GPS inspired artwork.
