Art Camp Recap

Art camp has come to a close! What a fun week. I got to get back to my roots of teaching art. I worked for 5 years in the scrapbook/paper arts industry as a product designer, class project designer and instructor. I've often missed those days and this was a fun way to tap into my visually creative side again! 

One of the projects the kids did this week - to wonderful results - was a Paul Klee inspired fish painting using oil pastels and watercolors. 
Mrlundgren1 on You Tube did a tutorial we followed - it was incredible! 

This piece had a lot of wonderful technique going on! 

Another fun project was a tissue paper collage. We used elmer's glue mixed with a little water as our Mod Podge medium. The campers loved it and created beautiful pieces. 



Our sculptures were painted on the last day of camp...


And we also took time to go to the park and just sketch...



The camper's with their favorite creations: 


And, I painted a little something at the end of the week too. This was a Sylvia Wachmeister inspired piece. 


I can't wait until art camp next year!
