Hampden News - Art from the Heart

ART FROM THE HEART BENEFITS TWO ORGANIZATIONS (and you can own a piece of this beautiful work, too!).2nd grade


Under the direction of our very own Art Teacher, Mrs. Amy Kovach, Hampden students have been eager to help others with creations from their own hands — doodles, animals, plants, things that fly, hands and hearts. Their individual artwork came together on canvas to create whimsical, vibrant, and powerful pieces. These innocent and beautiful pieces represent 1,320 little hands powered by 660 enormous hearts, each doing one small thing that would come together to make life better for someone else in the world.  Please click here for pictures of all of the artwork.

These original art pieces will be auctioned off at the Art from the Heart Auction at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, November 10. Proceeds from this event benefit Family Promise of Harrisburg Capital Region, a nonprofit agency serving families who have recently lost their homes. More information can be found at http://www.familypromisehcr.org/.

As an extension of this project, many families have expressed a desire to own the artwork. Because it is not feasible to create additional original pieces, we have decided to sell prints of the originals to the community. To help the thousands of hurricane victims in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, proceeds from the sale of these prints will be donated on behalf of the Hampden Elementary School community to the American Red Cross. All prints will be in full color and on 9 mm poster paper.

1st gradeThe best part of both of these efforts is that our students have learned a beautiful lesson that they will carry for their lifetimes. They are not helpless. With small actions, working together they can make a positive impact.

Order forms will be coming home next week or you can download one online at
