Thanks to all Hilton Artists

 

 

Working together with Hilton students and parent volunteers art projects were auctioned at Family Bingo Night, on Feb. 16th.  Thanks to all the artists that contributed their skills and time to create the beautiful pieces that were auctioned to give back to Hilton School. Every student at Hilton contributed to the projects and I am so proud of their hard work and so glad that they were able to experience and learn that artists can and do often use their talents and skills to uplift and give back to their community!  Way to go Hilton artists!

Art Auction Projects

3rd grade tile for the framed mirrors

Students in grades K-3 have been busily creating art projects that will be up for auction at Hilton’s Family Bingo night-for more information about the event see Hilton PSO’s website http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07e3a8hohf6e4347be&llr=trnm69dab.

3rd graders voted on a theme, then painted tiles that will be used to frame mirrors and a chalkboard.  2nd graders have reclaimed furniture and decorated each with painted images.  Each 1st grade student created a square for a class quilt.  Kindergarten students gave their thumbprints for class ceramics bowls…..

Choose a Chair!

2nd Graders want you to choose your favorite chair.  We are going to compare how different kinds of people respond to the same art.

2nd Grade Designers

2nd grade students have become green designers for one of their stuffed animals.  Design is when an artist arranges the art elements like line, shape, color, texture, pattern & space to make something useful.  Design is everywhere; everything we use, read, wear, and live in, everyday starts with an artist that designs it.  There are graphic designers, architects, interior designers, fashion designers, and industrial designers.  Good design should have good form (how it looks) and must function (how it works.)

Students looked at many famous chair designs…

… and inspired by these creative designs students taped together reclaimed materials to build a chair with interesting shapes and lines, and that functions for their client.  From there we are covering the recyclables with papier mache and started to add color to our design with paint.

 

2nd Grade Reflections

The Japanese Bridge, Claude Monet

2nd Graders studied Monet’s paintings and discovered that Monet loved to paint water and was intrigued with the ever changing reflections in the water.  Click on Monet’s bridge to hear see another of Monet’s waterlily paintings at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.  When you get to the museum, scroll down on the right until you find the Monet, then hit the play button to hear Monet’s gardener, its way cool!  Look at our reflections. We created a landscape with a horizon line, mixed colors to make a moody autumn sky,  and used our sketching practice to apply what we noticed about branches to paint trees.  We borrowed Monet’s dabbing painting style to make glorious fall leaves, the whole time folding and printing our painting to make a reflections in the water.

2nd Grade Impressions

Claude Monet, the famous French Impressionist inspired 2nd grade students to sketch their impressions of the water and trees in Hilton’s new courtyard. Monet was interested in capturing the light and appearance of nature at a moment in time. He painted outside to feel his subject as he painted, and loved to paint the ever changing reflections in the water. 2nd graders cut out and combined their watercolor sketches to create a class mural that depicts an impression of the courtyard on a beautiful, sunny September day.
