So I'm three weeks behind on camp posts. yikes. I've combined the best of two weeks for you here, which spawned some awesome works from our campers! Highlights included O'Keefe inspired still life flower paintings, monochromatic self portraits, a silhouette mural group project, watercolor and chalk topographic maps, Picasso self portraits, dream catcher weaving, prehistoric animal drawings, and my personal favorite: the wrapping of the buffalo.
The Springfield Art Association has a buffalo in its sculpture garden made out of car bumpers. Every year the kids are really enthralled with it, and every year we tell them that the buffalo will eat them if they touch it. We were doing a unit on public art and thought that it would be really neat to expose them to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work. Each camper made a potato stamp and we covered several bed sheets and then wrapped the buffalo! I'm not sure who was more pumped...them or me.
