Animal Love
What could be more fun than creating works of art based on the love of our furry friends? Well, as we found out during a week of animal art, dogs and cats can provide quite a bit of entertainment to any creative endeavor!
FOR THE LOVE OF PETS POTTERY
This weeks clay project was to hand form an animal face bowl from a slab of clay and to create garland using animal shaped cookie cutters.
Tying painted and fired animal pottery pieces onto a string of twine to create the garland.
Absolutely adorable animal face bowls - handmade and painted by camp artists.
PET PORTRAITS
Pets were also the inspiration for our painting project. The artists used various shapes to sketch out an animal portrait onto a 16x20 inch canvas.
The portraits were outlined with a thick black sharpie and painted with many layers of acrylic paint.

OIL PASTEL PORTRAITS
All this animal love was the motivating force behind our next project - the artists made a portrait of themselves holding their favorite animal.
The artists drew their portraits onto a piece of art paper, outlined the portrait, cut it out and added color with oil pastels. The finished portraits were glued on to a 12x12 sheet of decorative paper. A white border was created by gluing this 12x12 piece to a larger sheet of white paper. A few shapes were cut and glued around the border for an artistic pop of color.
