Middle School Art Camp

The past week in Middle School Art Camp was SUPER FUN! The campers were instructed to bring their own wooden chair to create a whimsical and fabulous painting on...

Day one, of course it POURED RAIN the moment we needed to go outside to sand all the furniture... thankfully we have a lovely covered gazebo that accommodated everyone while they used a little elbow grease to remove any finished surfaces (you can see how hot and steamy it was because my camera got all foggy in the second pic!):
 After the surfaces were sanded and primed, campers got to work painting their unique designs on their chairs (or bedroom door, or mailbox!):
And, the pieces as they went home on Friday... AMAZING, right?!
Meanwhile, mid-week we realized we needed to get out of the paint-fumed room and get some fresh air so we starting taking daily walks to Royal Farms for slurpees and candy. Here is a cute photo as we walked back via the trail...

  2. Gorgeous work!! You've clearly inspired them to follow wherever their creative minds lead them (preempting future damage in college art classes!). I admire this generous blog so much, your sharing of your projects and ideas. If karma is real, you've banked a lot of good. Cheers to your continued happiness and success!
