Summer Camp has officially started...actually, we're heading into the 5th week! So, the next couple posts will be a recap of SOME of the MANY projects we have done the last couple weeks...
Week 1: Identity (projects all about the artist!)
My favorite project from this week was creating faces with magnetic features! Thanks for the idea, Freckle PhotoBlog. The students first made facial features (or one case, funny facial hair!) out of clay. We looked at various pictures of facial expressions, and we made funny faces at each other, while talking about what our facial features do when we make a certain expression. They made various "sets" of features so that they could change them around. Another day, they painted the background portrait on a cookie sheet (from the dollar store) that had been primed. They painted their features and we added magnets and a coat of modge podge over everything! They came out great!
