Ahh, Little Michelangelos Summer Art Camps are now over.
It was a good time.
Children ages 6-11 participated throughout weeks over June and July. Some of the projects we tackled:
Real paintings of St. George's Church with lessons in simple architecture, using boxes in perspective
Real paintings of images the child chose with an emphasis on color saturation in one hue
Sculpting, using air dry clay and stay soft clay, boy that was messy but fun
Drawing lessons, a real live puppy came on the scene in week 3 and the kids had a ball trying to draw him while asleep
Drawing lessons, emphasizing the difference between line drawing, mass and form.
Cartoon Lessons, how to draw a cartoon character and they made their own cartoon strip
Lots of fun crafts to rest the tension of their hard concentration
Pompom birds, decoupage, birds and butterflies theme, butterfly in origami, glittering craft store doves,painting real sailboat scenes on rocks, making tiny critters out of pebbles and googly eyes, lots of coloring pages and word searches, play doh, and marker fun, and the all-time favorite in week 3, tie dye shirts!
