Dear Parents,
It was an artsy week at "Picasso to Pop Art."
Monday
Today, the campers learned all about Picasso. In the morning, Camp Founder Judy Crosby came in to teach the campers about Picasso's use of Cubism. The classes then made colors wheels. Midday, the campers learned about Picasso's line portraits and tried to emulate his style. In the afternoon, the campers used colors in their paintings as a way of conveying emotion.
Look at those color wheels!

After this, they got to attempt to make a second draft of their sculpture using tinfoil. After snack, the campers made their sculptures with clay. In the afternoon, the campers learned about Georgia O'Keefe and painted flowers.
