<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"The artist who painted a blue Horse" one of my favorite author illustrators for all ages! We talked about how he creates his work then the group painted a horse in blue tones. They had a drawing of the horse without a mane so it was on them to add the mane. Of course several decided the horse had to have a tongue too! Fun project to do.</span><br />

I had the kids draw them first with lots of swirling branches then block them in with black crayon. Next made a dozen or twenty circles with white crayon then the COLOR. They got to choose their own chalk pastel colors and make dual colored dollops and grass. A couple of the kids who came in late are finishing their branches at home but good work. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Earth day creativity was amazing. I took a couple of boxes of caps and rings and assorted plastic and cardboard shapes, set them out on the table and let the group go wild. Amazing diversity. Some had moving elements, some had special significance to the maker. Great way for parents and kids to create together.</span></div>

We try to do lots of things with recycled or donated materials and this one used bottle caps of many colors, leftover fun foam, tiny feathers and craft sticks. The original example used metal bottle caps but they are very small and do not let the younger kids be creative. For spring my idea was to do bunnies and chicks but we also got lots of kitties.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We made pots of gold/shamrock pins for St. Patrick's day and they really, really turned out great. I cut 1" candle cups in half and painted them black and glued a cardboard back on before class. They embellished them with gold pony beads, sprigs of shamrocks, and self stick shamrocks plus most of them made rainbows to put behind them. Great to wear right away and for the activities the next day.</span><br />

Pretty cute!!</span><br />

We did screech owls tonight and painted them with palette knives using Basis paints with cornstarch added to give it a bit more texture. This group does so well, even the littlest ones. Gets a lot of moms drawing too.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Last night we did a drawing and painting project with penguins. At first I had planned a straight nature theme of a penguin family but that held no excitement even for me yesterday. Then I thought, why not have them being playful in the winter dressed up in caps and scarves? The kids spent almost 20 minutes drawing the 2 penguins. we talked about wing position to throw snowballs or ski or other activities and adjusted. Then we painted them. Lesson learned--washable black tempera is not black, it is green..grrr. Some of the kids got into spreading their paints around--"they are in an ice storm" some got excited about the colors (think pumpkin head instead of just a beak) Lots of talk about what was going on in their pictures. One of the penguins is even speed skating--you can tell who wants to be at practice.</span></div>

I found a nice picture of a pack of wolves that were not all snarling and printed it on watercolor paper. We did something a bit different by enhancing the lines with scribbles of black or brown color pencil then doing the watercolor using internet photos as a color reference. I would love to try this with watercolor pencils sometime but it really got everyone thinking of where to put their darker and lighter colors. Of course there are a few wolves of a different color and several of the older kids decided that a colored sky was essential.</span><br />

We talked a bit about the holiday and celebrations including music from the bands of mariachis. I precut the paper and used tubes that were thinner (nearer 1") than TP ones from my foodsaver rolls. The kids were really into this with 2 tables making members of the mariachi band complete with a dancer and a microphone to sing into. Even though each person was given the same basic pieces each one got a bit of a personalization as they added touches here and there. </div>
The mariachis turned out SO good!!<div class="">

With this week's theme of super heroes I thought we'd do something a bit different and create a 3D superhero launching itself out of a comic book page. We did not get real comics to cut up although I considered it.

<br />
I found a coloring page with comic panes that we used as a base and colored it using markers and crayons. The kids then chose a super hero or two or three to color and cut out. I showed them how to make stands to make it look like the figure was popping out of the page.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We did a project experimenting with how to use oil pastels and talked about why they reactions </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">occurred then created a small picture. we used baby oil as our medium as it is more kid friendly than mineral oil or some other solvents. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Clay is always popular at camp and we used plain polymer clay to make medians then imprinted them using small pinecones, shells and other natural items. The camper made them into necklaces, mobile hangers and more by painting them after we baked them and stringing them onto cording. </span><br />

The marker ink does spread and is fun to watch the changes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also got to use stretchy clay to make critters. It was a bit older and does not really work well to stretch and pose. the critters they made pleased them though. It is much smellier than regular polymer clay. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wednesday we looked at structural items made from crafts sticks and talked about and looked at ones like the Eiffel tower. The kids then created some pretty impressive projects using the sticks and some other small wood pieces. Some spent most of the day working on it, others finished early and went on to complete other projects or lend a hand on one of the projects still under construction. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The junior councellors went all out to get a project working to explode the paint. We tried film canisters of two kinds with their own tops and with corks to no avail. Then they lined up all the canisters and had the kids put in baking soda and tempera powder and slowly went down the line pouring vinegar into all of them. It is between a colored rolling waterfall and a skittles fountain. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/woodenitbewonderful/videos/vb.197448373606912/998500186835056/?type=2&theater" target="_blank">skittles fountain</a> The kids love the reaction between vinegar and baking soda but without a larger bottle to blow due to the gas nothing blows up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our last 2 projects were to use the styrofoam eggs and balls with ping pong balls and create an alien and make bouncing balls from borax and glue. Not sure which one was more fun but getting the large amount of food dye off the kids requires baby oil, dishwashing detergent and lots of scrubbing plus some color theory on complimentary colors and why that helped get the color off more quickly, i.e. red on green. </span></div>

You have to think about art being more than drawing and painting as we usually do. We included all kinds of home made potions and still managed to create quite a number of projects to send home.</span><br />

Guess there is a desire to do the familiar and fun too. We are going to try some new stuff this year like building a structure with crafts sticks to see how well we engineer and some old stuff like making a kaleidoscope, using materials in a new way painting with crystals in solution, and experimenting with the movement of color through materials. The younger set gets to explode paint and make a new kind of clay and everyone gets a try at luminescent paints. Just my thoughts.</span><br />

We finished up with a marbling project using model paints that were donated to us. Great selection of colors and these really work to marbleize tiles (hands and nails too apparently!) We glued corks to the back of the tiles so we'd have a handle and not get our hands in the enamel--that did not last long!!!</span></span> <br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We started art camp off this summer with a trip back in time to visit ancient art, medieval arts and then moved onto the renaissance period and finally to more modern art in America. We started by looking at Egyptian and Greek pots then painting a story on a clay pot in only 1-2 colors. It is a bit of a challenge to limit the palette that much but they made it! </span><br />

Our final day started with a Georgia O'Keefe type watercolor. We looked at a number of her paintings both of flowers and of other scenery. We drew the set of morning glories then did wet painting of them. Finally all the kids got how to add paint into the water on the paper and help it move instead of just painting with the watery paints. Lots of oooh and aaahs on this too. We did a bit of salting at the end too. </div>

Kat got to lead the Chagall circus scene with the camp and probably got the kids to draw more intricate figures than ever. Yes there were monkeys hanging by their tails too. The scenes were very detailed. We did colored pencils to complete this one.<br />

It is a tree with lights in it on a moonlight background. We used the four colors without cleaning our foam brush--scary to not wash your brush!! We then drew the tree in with lots of branches and did dot on dot for our lights. It was really quick and they did a fantastic job. Always goes too fast.<br />
