Menifee Kids at Art Camp had an Incredible start today as our first day of a creative art week, children were outgoing and fearless to their art projects.
For some of the children this may had been a first time ever trying this techniques.
Children prepared their bowling pins with gesso today ( oh yes, this young art summer campers know now what "Gesso" is and why their bowling pin needs to have few coats of this incredible medium binder)
Also children learned about making paper and braking out paper fibers to create paper mache; they surely got their hands wet and dirty!
Tomorrow while kids prepare the paper clay from the paper pulp ( that we left soaking today overnight today) kids for surely will get their hand wet, gooey and dirty at art class! :)
An to celebrate our beautiful summer, children sketched on watercolor paper a beach scene and after few technical points needed to be on their drawing they freely embellished their drawing on their own … oh yes we do have few sea monsters and gigantic sharks on those ocean waters, kids drawings look terrific! - tomorrow they will be applying to our summer beach scene water color paints and it will take a life on its own!
Part of Menifee Kids Summer Art Camp program is to introduce and teach children about art supplies and the basics on art composition.
Today children learned about brush use, care and strokes, painting trays, color pallets and color theory also they learned about different types of paper and thickness, styles of paint from opaque and translucent, pigments and paint binders also paper types and composition: landscape or portrait.
While some of the children experience small level of difficulty I am so proud of them for their courage to go forward with their projects.
