The final week of Art Camp for the summer began yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.
We started by painting the color wheel and learning about color mixing. Then the young artists went on to learn about Monet and we painted this lovely version of Monet’s poppy field using just the three basic colors – red, yellow, and blue, plus white.
Can you believe they did this with just those colors? Great job guys!

I have been so impressed with the young artists I have met this summer during the weeks of Art Camp that we have been having at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. We have been having loads of fun painting wonderful art.
Today another camp started – Famous Painters week. We started as always with the color wheel and making all these 
colors just using yellow, red and blue.
Then we painted like the first famous artist we are studying this week, Monet. And we only used those three colors -yellow, blue and red, plus white to create this entire painting.
What do you think? Didn’t they do a fantastic job!!!???

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!!!
