Hillside Elementary Holds Fourth Annual Artist Day

Participants called the local school's Artist Day "amazing."

Hillside Elementary’s fourth annual Artist Day, held last week, April 24, was an amazing day for students who were introduced to many fields of art - painting, pottery, graphic design, photography, scene design, puppetry, mime, improv, dancing, songwriting, singing, DJing and musical instruments.

The successful day was the culmination of several months of planning by the school’s PTA Artist Day committee who identified and invited the many artists and then planned the day with rotating schedules for each grade.

The students learned much about different arts. Music is actually quite scientific and can be made from traditional string instruments, blowing in bottles, or the singing of four women in harmony. Dancing is as varied as ballet to jazz to hip-hop to ballroom. Art can be made from paint to clay to cameras to computers! Acting can be spontaneous or silent!

To commemorate the day, all students participated in a group watercolor painting – the one-of-a-kind canvas piece will be mounted in school’s hallway. The impact of the day can be summarized by the reactions of two individuals who had never experienced Hillside’s Artist Day - a staff member who was in tears over the beauty of the day and a little kindergartner who said "I loved this day of all days the best!"

Hillside Elementary is located at 9250 Scott Road in Roswell GA.
