Week #4 FINAL WEEK for ART CAMP by Ms. Michelle

  Just as a reminder, next week is the FINAL WEEK and we are making Drawing Journals using some recycled materials, then using the completed Journal to Draw in. What will we be drawing?
WHATEVER your heart desires! Really, I'm open to anything..... We have a small group so far and I'm open to suggestions. The Journals just below were created by my sons with help from me. We were up in New York State where my in laws have a cabin and we drew what interested us at the time. I couldn't help but to add photographs of my inspirations for drawing.
    On the other hand, some kids need direction. I will supply them with drawing assignments such as the ones done in the Journals below..

 For example, on a sunny day we could go for a walk in my back yard and drawing from real life.  Or image if we could have any type of animal as a pet, what would he look like?.

As in the journal below, we can draw stuffed animals or other inanimate objects that can be easily set up and used to draw from.
