This summer, The First Bank of Highland Park graciously shared it's walls with not only Ravinia School, but Ravinia Music Festival too! Ravinia School and the Ravinia Music Festival collaborated on a special exhibit at the First Bank of Highland Park to bring awareness to Ravinia Festival's special program, KidsLawn. Ravinia students Miranda, Rayane, Mark, Lily, Ben M., Kayla, Sydney, and Isabella's work was exhibited. The Bank is located at 1835 First Street, Highland Park, IL.
About KidsLawn:
KidsLawn is a new family-friendly space on the north lawn is the perfect place to lay out a picnic and let the kids run between interactive exhibits, including large-scale percussive instruments on which they can make their own kind of music. KidsLawn will also feature stories, videos and our classic “instrument petting zoo.”

900 students in Highland Park receive workshops.
What do art and music have in common? It's astounding when you compare the commonalities between the use of movement, line, color, and tone in both visual and audio compositions. Wassily Kandinsky's use of line, color and movement inspires the works you see before you. Students listened to jazz while creating their visual compositions. If you look carefully, you may be able to recognize hints of musical symbols such as notes and rests or parts of musical instruments.
This student art project was inspired by the new Ravinia initiative; KidsLawn.
