Art Camp - WK 6 Full Day Group

This week's afternoon class was fairly small. In between the projects I had planned, the kids obsessed on origami.

Kathryn showed us how to fold these modular origami stars.

Laurissa's origami made a nice ring!

Zach was addicted to making the water balloons (ok., who am I fooling? They were water BOMBS!)

Kathryn took the challenge and made several dinosaurs.

Zach models a mask.

Laurissa starts a dinosaur.

Art Camp - WK 1 - afternoon class's last day

The afternoon class grouted their mosaics. What do you do when you have a bucket full of leftover grout? This is where imaginations and creativity took over. These girls made fairy homes and hid them about the park. The trees provided many great spaces for this! I can't wait to see if any are still there next week.
