Join us on Thursday, April 11 at 7 pm for a movie screening of
The Creative Brain
TWHS main campus auditorium
6101 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, Texas
FREE admission, plenty of free parking
The Creative Brain takes audiences on a journey with neuroscientist and best-selling author, David Eagleman, to meet accomplished professionals from across the creative spectrum, unravel the creative process, and encourage all of us to be more creative. David Eagleman has spent years studying the brain to understand what is "under the hood." This file explores the human stories behind the science to which he has dedicated his life.
The film features exclusive interviews with creatives such as Game of Throne co-creator and Emmy Award winner D.B. Weiss, Grammy Award nominee Kelis Rogers and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins.
By highlighting real-life examples of failure and success in the creative industry, Eagleman encourages audiences to self-reflect, discover their passion, and embrace their inherent, human ability to be creative.

Thank you to all the artists who participated this year.
Each of our students have voted and we allow them to make the choices themselves. The pieces were displayed in the cafeteria and the kids were provided insight into each of the works. The kids then vote, we abide by their decisions and determine financially how many of the top pieces we can purchase. In the end, it all comes down to funding.
We are pleased to announce that we will be adding works by the following artists to our collection:
BILL BASS (THE WOODLANDS)
JULIE HOWARD (ALVIN)
SHAYNE MURPHY (HOUSTON)
DEBRA RILEY (MONTGOMERY)
RYAN RUNCIE (CEDAR PARK)

The Woodlands High School Art Trust (TWHSAT)
In 2011 The Woodlands High School created a unique art acquisition program. Professional art is chosen by
students to be permanently displayed on the walls of The Woodlands High School. The collection exposes students
to art throughout each day but also is used to enrich curriculum in areas such as language arts and social studies.
Each Fall, Texas artists are asked to submit one piece to be considered for acquisition. A student art trust
committee culls the submissions to approximately 12-15 pieces that will be voted on by the entire student body. The artworks
are placed on display and the students are each allowed one vote. The students then use funds from the
Homecoming Dance to purchase as many of the top choices as they can. TWHSAT then fundraises and
solicits donations to pay for the framing, display and conservation of these pieces.
Our collection currently consists of 39 pieces that are placed in seven "galleries" around our school.
As our school consists of both a 9th grade campus and a senior campus,
we did not want the students at the 9th grade campus to miss out on daily exposure to our collection.
Therefore, we have duplicated our collection at the 9th grade campus and they have replicas of 38 of the 39 pieces.
