We enrolled Olivia in two summer art camps at the Cultural Arts Center in downtown Greensboro. The morning session was a Dr. Seuss-themed camp that had them look at some of his books and take inspiration from the stories to do their own works.
Her turtle, inspired by Yurtle the Turtle |
She had to write her own poem and illustrate it in book form. |
She made her own "Thing" from Cat In The Hat |
In the afternoon, she had a camp that did a lot of work inspired by other artists and used a bunch of mixed-media.
Olivia made a "Triorama" of her dream playground |
Starry Night by Van Gogh |
They made their own sketchbooks |
splatter painting like Jackson Pollack |
They made their own paint and did some finger painting |
"Oh wait! It's upside down!" |
More splatter painting |
Masks |
Cave art |
They did a group project where one person drew a head, one a torso and the third legs, but they couldn't look at the previous person's work |
They made shakers with beans and a toilet paper tubee |
The looked at Henna tattoos and did their own on a glove (because drawing on our own hands might not be a good idea...:) |
They made woven paper lanterns |
