Thursday morning was a great time for campers- we took the tiles that we glazed on Monday out in to the courtyard to break them apart with hammers and then glued them to then wooden frames of individual mirrors (later on, I grouted them along with one of my HS helpers):
In afternoon, we spent some time adding the last pages to the magazine bowls we started on Monday also (campers have been adding to them all week if they finished other projects early). When completed, we pushed them around foam bowls to make the shape and covered them in Modge Podge gloss medium to set them in place. I think they're really cool!
This morning (Friday), the kids created patterned printing plates and I taught them to make prints by coloring the foam with water-soluble markers, dampening paper in a water bath and then pressing it against the foam. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, as I was unloading the kiln containing the shape-and-fill bowls created on Monday- they dried all week and I fired them last night:
Here are a few photos of our recess after lunch today. All week we've had a half hour sprinkler recess outside and it's been the perfect summer week for it. Some campers enjoyed the water, while others sunbathed on the field:
Many campers wore their tie-dyed T's today and looked magnificent:
This afternoon, the kids created "sun prints" by arranging 'nature' on photographic paper, exposing it to the sun for a few minutes, 'developing' the paper in a water bath and then drying them:
The kids then cleaned their mosaic mirrors with glass cleaner- don't they look GREAT?!?
Lastly, before our time at camp ended, we got creative with ice cream as we created our own sundaes- yum! Enjoy the rest of your summer everyone!!!
