ALL GRADES           Everyday Object Art!      

# data[].attributes.body
Look at the examples of artwork by Adam Hillman in the link below. He makes art using everyday objects you can find around your house. Look around! What supplies can you find at home for this? Pasta, buttons, pennies, crayons, socks, kitchen utensils? Anything goes!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Calling himself an "object arranger," Adam Hillman sees the beauty in things organized neatly. Taking everyday things like matches, cotton swabs, and push pins, he meticulously places them in mesmerizing patterns that transform them from the ordinary into the extraordinary. Divorced from their original function, the items hardly look like themselves, and with Hillman's intervention, they function as a single form that electrifies the composition.

While every one of Hillman's pattern arrangements is impressive, his food organization is some of his best work. Preparing these edible materials often involves delicate peeling or precise slicing, which is both time consuming and unpredictable-you never know how an Oreo's icing is going to look until you twist it open. It requires the utmost patience; a trait best shown in his photograph of Fruit Loops cereal that's arranged in a square gradient pattern suspended in a milky bath.

Hillman sells prints of his obsessively arranged art on Society6.

Through meticulous pattern arrangement, Adam Hillman creates visually soothing photos.

From everyday objects to food, Hillman organizes it all.

Some are arranged in rainbow colors, while others place an emphasis on shape design through negative space.

Whatever the items may be, Hillman shows how satisfying it is to see things organized neatly.

PAINT RECIPE
1 cup of room temperature water
1 Tablespoon of corn starch
a small pan
plastic or styrofoam egg carton, a muffin pan or other small containers
1. Mix the water and cornstarch in the pan.
2. Cook on the stove just until it starts to boil and thicken.

6. Set up your painting space:

paint brushes  (If you don't
have brushes you can use
Q-tips, a cut up sponge, a

Express your thanks to our community heroes! Gather some different kinds of paper... you can use magazines, newspaper, envelopes, paper bags, food wrappers, etc.  Look for parts of the paper you can  cut hearts out of. Once you have your pieces, start to cut your hearts. Try to cut 10-20 hearts from all of the different paper you have. Try to make your hearts all different sizes. After you have made all of your hearts, arrange them on a base in a way that is interesting. Overlapping and going off the page helps to make your artwork more interesting. Glue your hearts down when you are happy with your arrangement. Then hang your artwork in a window to show support for our heroes!
