Students need to be present for the entire five day session. At 2:00 p.m. on the final day of each session, students will host a reception to show family and friends what they have made and learned during Art al Sol.

Art Camp - Day 4

The camp this summer had its ups & downs/ frustrations, but in the end there worked looked great!!  I was dealing with mixed groups of ages 6 - 13, and I only saw them 40 min. a day for 4 days(if that).  The camp is a theater arts camp, and they added me a few years ago to make it a well rounded all arts camp.  I use the musical as my theme, and this year was Camp Rock.  The camp was different this year, because the kids are usually added to an adult cast as "extra's"...but this one rested on their shoulders!  So the students that made main roles sometimes got pulled out of my art class.  One day an entire group did not come because they needed to work on their parts.  This is rough on an art teacher who planned to see the kids for X amount of time. Anyways...it all worked out.

Art Camp - Day 3

Art Camp - Day 2

Here are some of the paintings on day 2.  We only have 40 min. together(if I even get them at all..frustration I'll share another day).  I now think we'll work all 4 days on them to bring them to completetion.  I had other projects planned, but the way things are going...I'm just hoping this one will be finished by the end of camp.

Art Camp - DAY 1

Camp Rock is the theme of this all arts camp.  This is my 3rd summer being the fine arts instructor for the camp(last year's theme was Seussical the Musical & the year before that was Beauty & the Beast).

I decided that the kids would create an acrylic painting of a guitar(electric or accoustic) & create a design on the guitar.  They've really been into it.  The camp is a bit challenging for many reasons this summer.  My students are more into drama & singing, but for the most part enjoy art.  However,  the ages are mixed.  I have 6 yr olds to 13 yr olds in the same room.  So the images you'll see the next few posts are that wide range.

There's a Wocket in My Pocket!

I found a wonderful Dr. Seuss book called THERE'S A WOCKET IN MY POCKET!  Each creature's name is associated with and object or place...they just change the first letter or couple letters of the object or place.  So I had my students brainstorm some ideas after I read them the book(had to be different from the book).  We then created these acrylic paintings.  I LOVE THEM!!!!
