Art at Holmes

Another beautiful mosaic going up at Holmes School. Special thank you to @OPEduFoundation and our amazing district art teachers for making this happen! #oakpark97 #WeareD97

Best day ever! Today every single Holmes Hawk got to paint a rock that will become a part of an interactive art instillation in the Holmes courtyard. Once again I was overwhelmed with the creativity of our #holmeshawks ! #OakPark97 #d97art

Early finishers this week are zen tangling inside the letters of our 3 school expectations to be displayed in the hallways at the beginning of next year. #holmeshawks #d97art #oakpark97

Celebrating a super year of after school SPARK with these Super Powerful Awesome Respectful Kids! #holmeshawks #oakpark97

A wonderful sampling of art from all 10 schools in D97 hanging in the executive board room. Talented and creative kids here in Oak Park!

In April, #Holmeshawks had an amazing opportunity for our Ss share their dreams during a pop-up artist visit arranged by Dreamchicago.org. Our final permanent art piece was delivered this week. Check out this awesome piece that captures some of the dreams. #OakPark97

Last day of SPARK. This crew of dedicated Super Powerful Awesome Respectful Kids is one of the (many) reasons I love to wake up and go to Holmes every day! 💪 🧠 💥 #holmeshawks #oakpark97

Couldn’t get over this student twinning with their art! #chicagoarchitecture #holmeshawks #d97art #coincidence

Each #holmeshawk is making a textured clay piece for a mosaic mural to be installed this summer. This artist created his texture to match his waves! 💕 #d97art #oakpark97

I 💛 kindergarten artwork - no fear, pure joy. This one is inspired by Picasso’s “Circle of Friendship” I guess what he said is true, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” #d97art #holmeshawks #oakpark97

Had so much fun putting the A in STEAM Night last week with a green screen photo booth! #Holmeshawks #holmesPTO #oakpark97 #d97art

Day 2 of our experiments creating work inspired by artist, Heather Hansen. Mirroring a partner to create a symmetrical work of art is harder than it looks! #synergize #holmeshawks #d97art #oakpark97

Holmes stairwells recently received a mini makeover. Every student in the school decorated one magnetic tile to create this colorful instillation 🌈 #holmeshawks #d97art #oakpark97

We took inspiration from artist, #heatherhansen & combined mindfulness with art. #holmeshawks focused on the experience, not the final product. However, the final products turned out gorgeous! #oakpark97 #d97art
