Kids' Art Camp (2011)
- Leaders: Mary Monie & Dawn Geschiere
The Art Camp theme (Jun 22-24) was Heroes of the Bible. We had 48 children, ranging from rising Kindergarteners to rising 5th grade, and 6 adults and 7 youth volunteers. We read books geared for children detailing the hero’s feats and created works of art to bring the stories to life. The children used a variety of art concepts to design art pieces to remind us of the heroes we studied. Here are the some photos of our work!
- Daniel in the Lion's Den
DANIEL
Each child made a clay lion to remind them of the power of Daniel’s faith in God and how his faith saved him in the lion’s den.
ESTHER
We learned about a rare female hero who saved her people. Each designed a beautiful goblet and used Pointillism to decorate it.
- Three Men Walked in Fire
MOSES
We read about how Moses performed many miracles including water from a pile of dry rocks. The children sculpted a dry river bank and later in the week added blue glitter paint to illustrate the act of water coming from dry rocks.
SHADRAH/MESHACH/ABEDNEGO
We read about Fire in the Furnace and how three men’s faith saved them--and learned a 3 step layered process to make fire out of yellow, orange, and finally red paint.
- The Noah's Ark Collage
JOB
Each created a colorful mosaic cross out of torn paper to symbolize Job’s unwavering faith and attach it to a folder to take home and fill with their art work and prayer ideas.
NOAH
We read about Noah’s journey and made our own wacky animals (pink porcupines, blue flamingos, blue bears, etc.) on stick puppets. We also made a wall size ark and cut animals form magazines to make a Noah collage.
JOSEPH
The kids were given a cut out of a coat to decorate with brightly colored oil pastels. Their creations were Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoats!
