Camp Leo has been in full swing this week! With so many fun projects we decided to hold off and bring you some pictures all at once! Below are the fun activities the campers participated in and some descriptions, this weeks activities were brought to Camp Leo by the awesome Jackie Faller.
Project 1: For this project we talked about the difference between 2D & 3D art. We then created the illusion of a 3D object projecting itself from a 2D picture plane. We added lots of color for Color Wars week, as well!

Project 2: We discussed the art of Jackson Pollock while creating these fun (and messy!) works of art. We took a spin on traditional splatter paining---using marbles!

Project 3: In spirit of the campers new favorite movie Monsters Inc, we got to create our very own ink blot monsters! The campers were challenged to use their imagination to create one of a kind creatures. It was really fun to see the kids compare monsters with one another while also making up background stories for each of their creations.

Project 4: In life, collaboration is key! So for our project on Thursday, we each designed our very own quilt square. We talked about how quilts were made for both function (sleeping, keeping warm) and art as well (creating pictures and patterns.) Once each camper designed their own square using geometric shapes, we mounted them onto one sheet of paper for the whole YMCA to enjoy!

Project 5: This was Friday- So we did something laid back yet still FUN! We talked about the new art of "Zentangles" ---small squares/rectangles of paper that you divide into sections and fill with various patterns. The campers seemed to really enjoy this...they spent the ENTIRE hour working on them!
