Hudson's Thought Process

As I was tucking the boys in bed tonight Hudson had a question to ask...

Hudson:  "When we grow up can there be more babies?" {He had already asked before prayer time if I was going to grow another baby in my tummy.

Me:  "Sure!  When you grow up you can get married and have babies."

Hudson:  "But that means I will have to sleep with her."

Me:  "Yes.  You will sleep in the bed with your wife and your baby will sleep in his own room."

Hudson:  "Well then I sure hope I like her!"

Anna Grace

Little Fishy

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it: "This is a pastel.  First Mrs. Belinda made the fish shape then really I just made up a color on a piece of paper and put it on my picture.  Mrs. Belinda inspected it and then she told me things that I needed to add in it.  When she was done doing that I did it.  Then  I was done with my picture."

Stained-Glass Cross

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"First I wrinkled my paper all up.  Then I used a Sharpie and traced all of the wrinkle spots on my paper.  Then I used colorful markers and colored the spots.  Then I used the same dark Sharpie and drew the cross.  Then I was done."

Woodland River
(canvas)

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it: "First Mrs. Belinda drew the land.  Then I painted the sky and water.  I added clouds to the sky.  The next day I came in drew my tree trunks.  At the end of the day I painted the trees.  Then I drew branches in the trees and did the grass and sand on the land.  Then I was done."

Anna Grace tell me why you enjoyed this year's art camp.  "I liked art camp this year because I was in 4th-6th grade art class and I did things different than the younger kids.  It was very fun and Mrs. Belinda was fun as well and gave me a lot of good tips.  The best part was seeing Amy because I haven't seen her in a long time."

  

Art Camp 2015 (Part 1)

I know it has been a year since I put anything on here but....

We completed another year of art camp and it was a highlight of our summer.  Caleb and Hudson went first so their work comes first.

CALEB

Ant Pie

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"First I painted the yellow.  Second I painted the crust.  Then I painted the red thing at the bottom of the crust [that would be the pie pan I think].  Then I painted the sky and then the fire that is on top.  Then I glued on the ant.  Then I made the dots."  

Red Bird House
(canvas)

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"First I painted the tree branch and then I painted the bird, then the house, then leaves and then clouds.  After that I was done.  The tree branch was the hardest part.  The bird was the most fun part to paint."  

Birdhouse - Caleb's is in the middle

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"I painted the roof first then all around it and then i was done."

Over all, Caleb, what did you think about art camp this year?  "There was only one boy other than me but we had fun.  I am glad I went.  I don't love Mrs. Belinda but I like her, just a little."

HUDSON

Nightlight Flier

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"First I painted the fireflies, light and then the lid of the jar.  Then I painted the jar. Last I painted the night.  It was not hard it was only fun."

Mr. Crabby
(canvas)

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"I painted the crab then all the dots on the crab and the purple on the crab.  The next day I painted the sea with all of those dots.  The dots that is the sea.  The sea was kind of hard because I couldn't get it on the crab."

Birdhouse - Hudson's is the first

Thoughts regarding this masterpiece and how he accomplished it:

"On the last day I painted the house and nothing else.  Oh yes I painted the roof.  And my regular teacher, Mrs. Belinda but there is two more teachers, said I needed to do a little more.  I didn't paint all of the wood because I didn't want too.  This makes it look a little old."

Hudson what did you think of art camp this year?  "The best part of art camp is painting.  I like Mrs. Belinda.  I like to paint with her and I like to play.  I want to go to art camp next year.  I hope Mrs. Belinda is going to be there."
