Bunks 3, 4 and 5 painted the backgrounds for this project with warm or cool colors, then used tissue paper and multiple layers of circles for the flowery foreground.

Gustav Klimt Trees
Theres nothing better than a Gustav Klimt swirly tree to me. This project took 2 class periods because the background had to dry first. We used cut up tissue paper squares with watered down glue paint for the background. Then we used black acrylic to paint the beautiful trees on top. These were done by 6 year olds and look way more advanced to me.
Swingin' silhouettes
I love the simplicity and color scheme of this beautiful project. Campers made silhouetted self portraits with oil pastels and watercolors (can you tell I love these materials together?). First they drew a tree, swing and their silhouette with black oil pastels, they they used white for the moon, stars, clouds, etc. They used purple and blue liquid watercolor and top and voila... a dreamlike painting in 45 minutes!
Frank Stella inspired watercolors
This was my second Frank Stella themed project, but instead of using his extreme precision, we let loose a little with watercolors and overlapping. Campers created their compositions with circle shapes throughout the room and painted with watercolor.
Oriental teapots
Honoring teatime with Ms. Honey and Matilda, we made oriental tea pots with paper plates and acrylic paint.
Gruesome Newts
I really wish I got more pictures of these awesome Mexican inspired geckos (newts) by 10-12 year olds. I love the color and style.
