The final day of the first week of Art Camp was Friday. We completed out Still Life paintings and then made Art Trading Cards. Each camper painted five cards and exchanged them with their new artist friends in class. We all had a great week. Looking forward to the next one 
beginning July 25th. Come join us. See more information here.

The Art Campers completed their “Masterpiece” painting yesterday. The emphasis for this week of camp is impressionism so of course, we painted a Monet.
They chose the Japanese Bridge over the Lily Pond as their subject.
And look at what a super job they did!!!
But art is exhausting. After taking two camp days to complete the large 16″x20″ painting they were pooped. At break time yesterday, they all took their snacks and went out into the lobby and laid down on the floor to eat their snacks. Pooped out!!!

Art Camp continued yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with the young artists producing two beautiful paintings.
The first was these great blue birds.
They also painted a terrific cardinal. They will put final touches on those this morning as well as start working on their “Masterpiece”! Stay tuned….more to come.

We had a great first day of Art Camp yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. I have six students (one is camera-shy) and they all produced great art.
We started with the basic color wheel, mixing colors, learning about primary and complementary colors. They picked that up really fast!
Then they painted their first piece of art. It’s a beautiful mountain scene. Everyone of them did a fabulous job! No kiddie art for these guys…they are making real grown-up art! I love it!!!
