report on 2nd week of art camp

The last week of art camp is done and so I would just like to recap our week together.   I had another great group of kids this past week.  We created the same projects that the kids last week made.  Doing two weeks of the same thing sure made it a lot easier on me!  I already had it figured out what I was going to do and knew my system of what works.  I could just focus on teaching and loving on these kids.  But, let me tell you, they sure showed me love too!  I am always just amazed at the love sent my way from these artists.  It sure makes all the hard work behind the scenes worth it!

Here are some pictures of our week together:

These cat in a bird cage pencil drawings are from my 10-13yr olds group.
This was a very fun picture!  I love how all of the cats have a personality.

New:  I have decided to make change to the adult class.  Earlier, I had mentioned opening up an
adult class on thursday nights.  But, upon having more time to think about it, I have decided on a new plan.
I will be hosting a one day(3-4hours) adult art class in November and one in March here at the studio.  

Cost is only $15 for the use of the facility and for my advice and time instructing.  
You will be creating the picture of your choice and you bring your art supplies.
So keep your eyes peeled for that to come, it is sure to be an amazing chance for you to find your inner artist.

Summer Art Camp 2013

1st week of art camp was so fun!  Here is a glimpse of just a few things we did this week.
 Fun Window art I put on the window of the studio.
 Dove in flight flying downwards towards the sun.




 Watercolor flowers











 
These pictures are of window art that we did. 
The beauty of making these was that the kids could then take them home
and peel it off the plastic and put them on their window at home. 
Very fun project.




Morning class
afternoon class
Thanks for making this week fun kids.  See you soon,
Mrs. Calvert

Art Room Makeover

Hello art friends!
 
  This past year was very busy for me, with my business and with life in general.  
So, now that I have down time this summer, I have been able to relax and reflect. 
It has been wonderful to have time to think.  God is renewing my mind, soul and heart
and it has inspired me to makeover my art room too!   
Goodbye boring white walls!
 
 Here is one corner of the finished art room.  On the right is a drying rack.
The rack is folded up in the picture, but the 30 shelves fold down and we can
dry our masterpieces on there. It is going to be so handy to have!
 
Also, I have chalkboard paint here and there throughout the room,
so I can write quotes or label where things are.
Here are all my students of the 2012/13 school year.
They all hold a special spot in this room and with me.
I think I will keep up this tradition and do this next year as well!
I can replace these pictures with the pictures of 2013/14 next summer.
