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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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