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.
