A few of our stops along our Digital Media photo safari in the loop. Students applied photo and video skills taught in class while learning a bit about art and architecture in Chicago- it was a great day!

Congratulations to these amazing HMS artists for their outstanding representation in the Chicagoland 4x5! Our students took home six awards this year!

Special congratulations to two HMS students, Lias Katz (now in 9th grade) and Marilyn O'Day (8th grade), who had artwork chosen for the IAEA - Illinois Art Education Association student show! Their artwork was chosen to represent 45 of the best of the best from over 500 exemplary works of art state-wide. Only a few were chosen per grade level K-12. It will be coming to Hinsdale Hospital in June! Congratulations!

The HMS art department is thrilled to be awarded the School of Distinction for Art, Design & Media Education from the IAEA - Illinois Art Education Association. We were the only middle school recognized in Illinois and only one of three schools state-wide to be recognized twice! Thank you to our art ed supporters -- you make all the difference!

Thank you to our visiting artist Margaret Carsello Chiappetta for taking the time to share her techniques in our Digital Media 2 classes! Hearing her creative process, inspiration, and mistakes along the way was so helpful and made it a fantastic and truly authentic learning experience for all.
And such a confidence-builder for the kids when she told them how impressed she was with their work in After Effects!
