Re: Art camp ideas for ages 7-11
Posted by teech on 5/09/08

    The art camp that I worked at for many years always had a
    theme. Each camp was 2 weeks. If the theme was water, we did
    water color pictures, drew our versions of "yellow submarine"
    art. Designed our own surfboards and made fish out of tissue
    paper. These can all be easier or harder depending upon the
    skill level and age of the student. Hollywood-we designed
    stages and costumes and made our own storyboards for cartoons.
    Sportsmanship-we made our own board games and designed new
    uniforms for our local BB team.
