Wrapping up the 5th week of Poway Art Camps

It was a challenging week.  Thomas was visiting from Korea and knew very little English. Most of the time he had no idea what I was saying.  By Friday he had everyone laughing as he  made up names for his classmates.  I am really sad that I didn't get photos of everyone's finished masks and silk paintings!   Cameron shot a lot of photos of the kids weaving beads while in between projects:
