Art Camp

I just finished teaching my first art camp of the summer. It was the past three days and we really had alot of fun. I think the students really enjoyed it. We got messy and did a lot of great projects. The first day we created paper mache animals, and sculpted with model magic(this stuff is the best because it is not messy at all and it air dries overnight plus you can get it half off at Micheals with one of their weekly coupons). 2nd day we collected leaves in my backyard and did leaf rubbings and then put our leaves and other fun sparkles on contact paper and stuck another piece on top and made window hangings, then we did splatter painting (like Jackson Pollack), and finished up with printmaking using styrofoam plates as our printing plate. The last day we finished the paper mache and scupture by painting and decorating them. The kids created some great work. Here are a few pics of the 3 days.

Haha! I made a pig almost exactly like that for a pinata in my 10th grade Spanish class. I actually got a ribbon in a county contest for it... :) Looks like it was fun.

OK who was the extra guy in the family photo? Wasn't there 5 kids in your family? I could tell who Chris, Jeffers, Quinton, and Jay were, who did I miss. I am glad that you were all able to be together and have a wonderful time - it gets much harder as everyone grows up and goes in there own dirrection huh?
