<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fine Arts July 6th</strong></h2>
This week we had the Fine Arts group that gets to do art ALL DAY! We started off by making portfolios to keep all of our artwork in, just like real artists. Our first project was ice cream cone sculptures, inspired by Wayne Thiebaud’s painting titled “Four Ice Cream Cones”. We made a newspaper base, paper mached them and we’ve been adding coats of paint to make them look like real ice cream! Our next project was based off Gustav Klimt’s painting “Baby”. The campers added many patterns to their blankets with oil pastels, used metallic paint for the background and got 2 pictures of themselves pretending to sleep to add to it. Now we’re working on portraits based on Georges Rouault’s “The Old King”. They drew a person in profile and added a watercolor stained glass window behind it. We’re learning a lot about texture, line, pattern and different techniques in Fine Arts! Everyone’s been working on their freestyle, backstroke and diving in the pool time as well. Catherine said she was always scared to dive, but she learned how to do a kneeling and standing dive this week. It’s been a fun and action-packed week for Fine Arts!
