Hillside School art students got an opportunity to display their work at the Hillside Gallery in La Cañada Flintridge during the Art and Design Exhibit ’17 reception. The work on display was a culmination of months of working and choosing the best of each student’s portfolio.
The primary focus of the projects was the creative process and the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, challenging both the student’s and viewer’s preconceived notion of what “high school art class” means. Teacher Torsten Keller led high school students through the processes of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Middle school projects ranged from drawing techniques, collage and assemblage, industrial and product design, mixed media and photography.
