Friday is here and it is the last day of BPS Art Camp. The artists are in full swing putting their ideas into motion. This years group was very self-directed. They knew what they wanted to make and needed almost no prodding to work. I will miss seeing these young artist but look forward to seeing them when school starts again in August. Until next year. Keep on making!

Blocks Paper Scissors Camp Days 3 and 4
WOW! I can't believe how fast this week is going! The artists are bringing so much energy it make me smile an. I wish I could do another week. I hope the children are having fun. We asked the children this morning what they liked about art camp. " I like that we get to me new friends", I like that we get to do wha we want, use our ideas. "I like to weave"

BPS Art Camp 2023 Day 2
Today the artists started with a vengeance making art. The first day jitters and nervousness is gone and the creative ideas are beginning to really flow.
Blocks Paper Scissors 2023
I can't believe it's been a whole year. We are ready and excited to spend the next week exploring creativity with your kids. This year I am lucky to have Ms Wroblewski from Brandywine Elementary helping with the 2-dimensional side of camp. Blocks Paper Scissors Art Camp is a unique art camp where we let the children use their own ideas and problem solving skills to create. The results are very different and creative. It's not always about the end result and more about the process. As you can see from the pictures below, the variety and complexity of children's art work can be messy and look unfinished. This is expected as children ideas are generally fluent and ephemeral.

Blocks Paper Scissors Camp 2022
It is so exciting to be back at camp for our 11th year. It seems like yesterday we started inviting kids to come make art and share their creativity. This year we have a new facilitator: Mrs. Lowe (The art teacher from Brandywine Elementary.) She brings so much enthusiasm and cheer to our studio. It's such a pleasure to work with her.
I love how creative kids are and their passion for having fun and making art. As you can see from these pictures, there are a lot of exciting thing happening already. From Magic wands to puppet shows. Cardboard houses galore. Blocks Paper Scissors camp has gotten off to a tremendous start.
