Pre-School Summer Art Camp

Week Two - All about Me
This week the art camp artists created works of art based around themselves and what they love.

 Day One -The girls work on a self portrait of themselves looking into a hand held mirror.
 
Time goes fast when you're busy creating works of art with your b.f.f.'s

The little artists drew and colored self portraits ~

that were absolutely adorable.

  They also made self portrait magnetic paper dolls with extra clothing,

accessories and an assortment of animals.

On the last day we always celebrate with handmade cupcakes.
An activity all campers look forward to with much anticipation.
  The girls love to help by adding three cracked eggs ~

 a little bit of yogurt, some water and then they take turns mixing the batter.  Bake until done - add plenty of frosting, tons of sprinkles and eat right before camp ends.

 And another successful Art Camp with a group of happy little artists.

Pre-School Summer Art Camp

Welcome to Magic Markings Art Summer Art Camps

Week One
Garden Art
The girls hand painted flower pots with pottery glazes, after the pots were fired, they added a little bit of potting soil and some verbena flowers.

Continuing on with the garden theme, the campers hand painted wooden flower pinwheels to add a little bit of whimsical fun to their home gardens.

And ~ What's an Art Camp without a hand painted t-shirt?  The girls paint a pocket full of flowers onto an over-sized shirt/night shirt/painting smock.

Hand Painting Bird Houses
Creating a colorful home for the garden birds.

Always a camp highlight - making, decorating and eating cupcakes on the last day of camp!

Time out from play for a little snack.

 Great Big Smiley Faces - Always a good sign of a fun art camp experience.

Next weeks camp - "It's All About Me" - with a camp wrap-up here on Friday.
