Yeah! Art Camp This Week! (Day 1)

Dean and Caleb have art camp with Mrs. Belinda this week.  So we will have pictures of their creations each day.  (Anna Grace's week is next week and Hudson has to wait a year.)  Each day the artist will name his painting for me and I will take a picture of it.  On Thursday (the final day) I will take a picture of the artist holding his painting along with his fearless (because let's face it you have to be either fearless or crazy to hold art camps all summer for children as young as 3 and 4) teachers, Mrs. Belinda and her helper Miss Mary.

Day 1

Caleb's Painting...

Pear Patch

Thoughts from the artist..."I used a paint brush to draw and paint the pear.  Then I mixed some blue to the paint to add some extra color to the pear.  Then I painted all of the orange background.  Then Mrs. Belinda helped me make a straight line of the brown and I painted the rest of the brown.  I added some red spots to the orange to make it more colorful.  Then I painted the brown stem on my pear.  And I went to wash my hands and I was done.    The first day of art camp was fun."

Dean's Painting...

Giraffe Head

Thoughts from the artist..."I drew with a pencil and then outlined with a brown marker the whole giraffe neck and head first.  I drew 3 spots on him next.  Then I painted the giraffe's face.  I did a sharpie for his eyes and I colored in them.  And then I drew antenna - outlined them and made circles on the ends with a brown maker.  Next I painted the giraffe yellow except the spots that were already brown.  I made the giraffe's nose then finally painted the background blue.  Making Giraffe Head was easy peasy lemon squeezy and fun."
