Art is an activity a person does that can be in a diverse form. Art also requires creativity and skill.
Examples of art are drawing, painting, music and culture. At Hillside High school there is a lot of display art on the wall that is significant to our school. The library is one of the places that has an art that was painted by students and teachers.
At the back of the media center, there are three pieces of art created by Mr. Emmett Tilley, Hillside Class of 1979, and a former teacher here at Hillside.
There are also 12 paintings that were painted by a famous artist named Ernie Barnes. Ernie Barnes also attended Hillside. Ernie Barnes has a really unique style of drawing that is distinctive for the elongated movement of the characters.
Freshmen Ziquan Watkins said, “I like the design and the color… each painting has a really unique message behind it, and it is really beautiful.”
Ms. Herbert a librarian at Hillside said, “I remember when I was a student at Hillside it was Civics, Mr. Tilley’s class. At the back of the class he was always sketching and it was really interesting to look at it.”
