Art Sampler Camp June 19, 2017
This week of art sampler camp was all boys who love to build stuff with cardboard and wooden sticks. Using hot glue guns and razor knives, the boys built cars, planes, boats, and abstract sculpture. They created zentangles using pens and markers and another day they painted flowers with acrylics and snake eyes with oil pastels. There was a day of printmaking with linoleum blocks and sculpting creatures out Model Magic, a clay-like material. Competitive Ping Pong was a favorite during break time!
ART Sampler Camp JUNE 12, 2017
Sampler Camp is a week of making art where kids have a chance to try painting, drawing, sculpture, and print making tailored to the ages of the group and their interests.We look at different artists, practice color theory, and work on drawing skills.
This week we painted “Pop Art” Flowers with acrylics and used chalk pastels to paint cats inspired by the artist Paul Klee. One day we made linoleum block prints of our favorite animals. On another day we marbled paper. Using Magic Model, a clay-like material, we sculpted insects and small creatures, then painted colorful habitats for them. Everyone enjoyed lots of summer fun getting wet in the pools.
