Yesterday We primed with “Gesso” our bowling pins, children learned about gesso and why its apply to certain surfaces. This time the design will be a dog, after the bowling pins were dry, they sculpted a muzzle and nose for what it will be a bowling pin dog.
Summer Art Campers jumped to a not so easy project of writing the “welcome” sign with they join compound, this project showed to be of some challenge to see how sculpting can represent its own challenges but overall they didn’t give up and succeed as they learned they can used the help of brushes, back of the brush and even their fingers! to accomplish the task.
Sign looking really good!
For a more relaxing turn, summer art campers beaded away their now laminated name tag into a leather cord thread, they learned that patterns can be created with different types of beads, size, textures and colors.
As a final project for the day little artists continued with their water color vase painting - summer art campers learned about “negative space”, “color theory” and “values”, paper thickness and the difference on paper weight, and light painting and directing the watercolor painting into the paper versus over brushing and water saturation.
