Day three

I am reposting Day three. For some reason, yesterday the pictures didn't come through.
We started with a lesson in pointillism and George Seurat. He painted entire pictures using dots.

So we did the same thing using pencil erasers. Some very pretty pictures came out of this!

This was paper day. We learned about collage and decoupage. Everyone created their own unique collage board.

What beautiful creations!

Day Four

Day four: Well, we are winding down our fun week. So, today we did something different-jewelry! I knew the girls(including me)would love it, and we did.

We started with magazine necklaces. We made beads from magazine pages and strung them together.

There is always a break for playtime!

Chocolate pretzels and fruit for snack today! More messy faces.
We finished the day with tshirt bracelets. Easy and fun!
Quote of the day: "A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art" Paul Cezanne.
Tomorrow is our last day and our party! The girls are really looking forward to it, they all helped with the planning.
Don't forget your tshirt!!!

Day Two: We had a very full day today. We finished up our printing with stencils and the much anticipated potato printing! The girls have been very excited about this. And our tshirts turned out great!

For our snacks today, we made banana octopus ( or is it octopi?) We also had chocolate covered strawberries, which the girls loved. There were a lot of cute chocolate faces when we finished.

These are our tshirts, as you can tell each are very different. We were all proud of the job that we did!

The plate on the right is our potatoes that we used to print. I think this picture fits our quote of the day
"Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing".
See you tomorrow!!

Day one of art camp. How exciting! We started the day by putting our names on our aprons and working on their mural that they are going to add to every day.

Today was printmaking day. We talked about different methods of printing including potato printing, stenciling,stamping, leaf printing and feather printing. We all toured the yard to select leaves to print with.

Everyone printed their own tote bag that they will use everyday to bring home their work. Please have them bring the bags back every morning.
