The Hill School held its annual Student Art Exhibition from Wednesday, May 23 through Saturday, May 26. Various art pieces were showcased in both the lobby of the Center For The Arts and the Boyer Gallery.
Approximately 40 third form to sixth form students will display their art pieces including water colors, oils, charcoals, canvas, ceramics, jewelry, and photographs. The exhibition will feature paintings from the Memory Project, an outreach program for orphaned and homeless children worldwide. These paintings were created from digital pictures of Ecuador’s and Quator’s children. Students who worked in coordination with the Institute of Philadelphia King Tut’s exhibition also will exhibit their clay-based Egyptian paste, from which they created jewelry.
This year, unlike previous years, Hill’s young artists will have the opportunity to sell their art work. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Amnesty International (AI), the first selected charity benefactor of the showcase. The idea to assist AI was implemented by Sierra Bintliff ’08 (Barto, PA). Each year another philanthropic organization will be chosen.
