DOODLE ARTS DAY ~ WEEK ONE

Each year on the first day of Summer Arts Camp we start off the week with a warm up doing Doodle Art.

{You can see some of last year's doodle creations ~ our Big Faces ~ above on our banner.}



With a brand new project for Summer Arts Camp and a little inspiration from us, the Camper Kids got busy and began doodling on dishes.






Using a collection of Sharpie markers in a kaleidoscope of colors the children each created their own unique dish designs.

 {Our very own Georgia Peach!}

Boys at work.

{Cinderella's castle.}

The collection was diverse ~ each artist somehow inspiring another in small ways.

{Rainbows of color, monograms, the American flag, puppy dogs, and kittens.}

{ this one! Future dinnerware designer, I think.}

When the Camper Kids were finished painting their plates with the pens, we baked them in the oven to set the ink and make it permanent.  {For the recipe, see below.}

The Camper Kids left their hand prints everywhere!

With a twist on traditional Mehndi hand prints, a few of the talented hands left these prints with us.




{I Art Camp!}

But this was my most favorite!

It was a great start to our first week of Summer Arts Camp 2015.  Get ready for more fabulous photographs and work by these Camper Kids.  We had a week packed with art projects we can't wait to share with you.

*Some other recipes you may find online will recommend 425 degrees for 20 minutes, but this totally faded my first design.  Slow and low is my recommendation for a perfect result.
