Lower & Middle School Art Classes Create Environmental and Community-Focused Display
Led by Art Teachers Mary Aidala and Valerie Gillespie, Greenhill Middle and Lower School art students have created an environmentally-focused community art display for Addison Town Center Harvest Festival.
The event will be on November 12 from 11:00 - 2:00 pm at the northeast corner of Beltline and Marsh. After the festival, the art will be on display in a window of storefront at the east end of the shopping center.
Valerie Gillespie worked with her Middle School students to create five display panels. Each panel has a word, written vertically: Remember, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respect. They painted the panels in shades of green layered with collaged book pages. They also made block letters and covered them with collages made with images from magazines.
Mary Aidala’s Lower School art students decoupaged the Middle School art onto the panels and added additional decoration with snack wrappers. They also used these fully recyclable plastic wrappers to make streamers hung from re-used wire hangers. Each hanger has 16 or 17 snack bags, representing the recycling from one snack time from a LS class.
Come to the festival to see this collaboration between Middle and Lower School students! And check out Addison Magazine's mention of Greenhill's involvement.
