Art Camp - Wow!

Our video to Michael Jackson's "Black or White." This project taught the kids the ideas that A) Art is EVERYWHERE and B) You can use art to impact social justice! They did a great job!

The kids painted their own "backdrops" for the video shoot. 

One of our other projects this week is paper bag books. We painted the bags with acrylic paint and bound the pages with ribbons. 

Then we made these adorable Claudine Hellmuth inspired Fairies. The kids looked at samples of Claudine Hellmuth and Donna Downey's artwork. 

We made tons of little fairies after taking pictures with my iPhone. I converted the pics to b/w, laid out the prints using the collage app on PicMonkey and printed them on my Canon Selphy.

Then we colored, painted, drew, cut and glued dozens of little fairies!  

More exciting things to come later this week! It's a fun camp...and lots of work for the campers and me! Special thank you to my friends Stevie and Jolie for all their help! Mary Kate has been a huge help as always!
