Congo Camp 2010

A few of the pieces of art that will be on display.

Our Media Mania campers are ending their session by hosting an art show of their art work. 

This art show will be taking place at 2:30 in the main hallway.  All of our campers artwork will be on display and we definitely see some Picassos in our future.

We wish these campers luck during their art show and want to tell them great job on all of their work!

Our Media Mania campers completed their morning by making masks.  These masks were started from a clean sheet of white paper.

Once folded properly, the Media Mania campers cut out various pieces to ensure they had places for their mouth and eyes to shine through. 

With the rest of the paper, they decorated with markers to make a unique looking face mask.  The masks all came out well and the campers enjoyed making and decorating these masks. 

Some of the excellent art that will be on display tomorrow.

Two special events will be occurring tomorrow, Friday the 27th, for some of our specialty camps:

Our magicians in Magic Experience will be hosting a Magic Show for parents in the late morning at 11:30 before the end of the session.  They have been practicing many magic tricks over the first few days and are definitely ready to show their skills.

The artists in our Media Mania camp will be hosting an art show tomorrow in the afternoon at 2:30 so camper parents can enjoy viewing the many creative productions these campers have made.

We can't wait to see both of these camps show off their excellent abilities tomorrow at their special events!

The Modeling Magic camper creations.

Media Mania moved onto making molds with model magic today.  Model Magic is a quick-drying clay type material that is easily moldable. 

Our Media Mania campers made various molds and crafts with this modeling magic and had a blast seeing how well they could mold whatever they were emulating.

If you have a chance, check out the Media Mania artist bios posted in the main hallway.  These campers have been having fun making all their various types of art and we know they are excited to continue creating over the next two days!

One of the campers paintings.

In Media Mania, the campers started to learn about texture by using leafs.  To complete this process, the campers first had to find leaves.

Once they selected their leaves, they put paint onto them.  After they painted the leaf, they pressed it against white paper and created designs. 

To complete their paintings the campers selected an animal to focus on in the center of the image and then have various leaf impressions surrounding it.

All of the campers were enthralled with this medium and we enjoyed seeing the various artistic productions they made!

A few of the mural replicas created by our Media Mania campers.

Media Mania is an arts and crafts based camp that helps our campers to learn the various mediums one can use to create art.

The counselors are helping our campers to learn the tools that artists use to make their creations.  Today they focused on chalk murals. 

These murals were based off Diego Rivera's style used in Mexican murals.  We are excited to see all the forms and mediums that these campers use over the next week!
