Final Project of Red, White, and Blue Camp

The morning class painted and decorated "U S A" signs. These were individual pieces of wood that we screwed onto the larger wood sign. I love seeing them on front doors in the neighborhood!

Unfortunately, we rushed so much to get these done, that I didn't get any pictures of the process- just the finished projects.

THe afternoon class started with a big piece of plywood and painted an American Flag. We painted stripes freehand without measuring, and everyone added how ever many stars they wanted- from 1-50!

We had such a great week! Thank you to Francie and Abby for their help last week. You both made our week run a little smoother. The next camp is "Holiday Art" July 18. space is still available.

Project # 2 of Red, White and Blue Camp

 On Wednesday we paper mached hearts on styrofoam and put them up on a stand. (It seems to  rain when we paper mache?) We painted the fronts as flags and wrote "God Bless America" on the backs.

The afternoon class started a BIG dog-earred picket to turn into an Uncle Sam. Which to our surprise the
children had no idea who Uncle Sam was-they should now. They did a knock out job on these, notice the hats, stripes, stenciled stars, fabulous faces, bottle caps buttons, so much fine detail work- Great jobs!

Red, White, and Blue Camp

We had a great camp week last week with 2 wonderful groups of campers.
The first project with the morning session was a 4th of July Angel with flag wings.

The afternoon class made 4th of July angels from gourds. Notice how every one is so different!

Last day of Winter Art, Monday

The 4 and 5 year old class painted a still life of forsythia (spelling??) They painted the background last week and today started the pot as a square and added a spout and handle. Then the stems were painted adding "V's", then we sponged on flowers from a flower form using 2 different colors. We went outside to look at forsythia and realized that we forgot buds, so we added buds! Aren't they wonderful!

The afternoon class painted a still life of tulips. We did the whole thing today. After painting the background, the boys were listening to directions how to start painting the pot in the shape of a circle...

The girls can talk and paint.....

The finished piece of art - FABULOUS!
