First step...Glue Flowers

Today we worked on giant flowers...the first step is to outline their flowers in Elmer's glue...and let them dry overnight...tomorrow it's all about the chalk pastels.

Just Desserts...

As our first week came to an end we decided what better subject to paint than gooey, decadent dessserts with a splash of glitter on top! Another great job from talented kids.

HeART in Hand Art Camp....

We're off and running this 2nd week with some colorful projects....I love when the students take the time and really get into their artwork...the results always show off their great efforts!

Feed me....

A baby robin has been born in my hedges...the nest is low, only about 4 feet off the ground...the mother keeps a watchful eye on our cat, Chloe, but once in a while she flies away and leaves this tiny fellow to squawk..."where's my food!!"

Taking and Making Stock....

Before we do any projects in art camp we spend the first day rolling out lots of juicy colors of painted papers so we can incorporate them into all of our projects for the next two weeks...messy but fun!

Class Mural...

The new session of "HeART in Hand" Summer art classes started off with a group mural inspired by Romero Britto's art...always a good way to have the kids all warm up to each other and get comfortable.

Monet's Garden....

We ended our "Mornings with Monet" week with who else...Monet...photographed the kids then added them on to their own bridge over the waterlily pond in Monet's garden...sweet results!
