FABULOUS FACES!

The Fabulous Faces 
of Summer Arts Camp 2017!

Every year on our first day of Summer Arts Camp we celebrate our beautiful selves.

We call it DOODLE ARTS DAY.

And, the first doodle we do is our "selfie!"

We sketch an abstract ~ modern arts style ~ drawing of ourselves with a black Sharpie marker.  

Then we paint it with vivid watercolors.

And we see what happens.

Some of these silly Camper Kids got carried away and painted their pets...and other sweet creatures.

Every face {and creature} and every child unique.

Their art continues to amaze us.

Expressions that made us laugh.
In a very good way, of course.

We love this first day of Summer Arts Camp, as it allows us to really see how each child expresses his or her self. 

Some of these fantastic Camper Kids, even went further and made selfies using just Sharpies.

We thought that they all were GREAT!

This is our fifth and fabulous year of Summer Arts Camp.  It was wonderful to have so many of the Camper Kids return and we so enjoyed meeting new creative souls.

Until next time!

MAGICAL MUSICAL MEXICAN MARACAS

Let's make some music!

Summer is almost here!

Summer Arts Camp is just a few weeks away and we are celebrating by creating some hand made Mexican maracas and making music with these iconic folk art instruments.

If you are joining us in June, you can make some too ~ and the secret on how to make these magical musical Mexican maracas will be revealed!

SWEET AS SUGAR

A crazy candy crush!

With a mix of materials ~ flowers and feathers, beads and baubles...

...pretty paper and a rainbow of Sharpie markers, we created these festive sugar skull masks.

These whimsical masks are just one of the projects we will be doing on our INTERNATIONAL ARTS DAY, celebrating Mexico.

Don't be scared...they are as sweet as sugar!

LIFE IS A BEACH ~ EVEN IN MACON!

While many of our Summer Arts Camp families and friends are enjoying this Memorial Day weekend at a beach ~ playing in the sand, catching the waves, flying kites ~ we here at SAC headquarters are gearing up for camp to begin very soon, so our beach time will not happen until later in the summer.  

However, we wanted to share some fun that you may have while you are by the shore this weekend.

OCEAN ARTS DAY is one of our themed art days during camp this summer and one project we will be creating is a collection of charming BEACH CREATURES... 

Mermaids and surfers...

Princess sea angels...

Sea sisters...

...a little mouse,

...and some sea turtles, of course.

So get your head out of the sand, pick up a pail, and collect some sea shells!  Arrange them on a flat surface and take a photo.  Share with us your work on our Facebook page.  We would love to see what you are doing this first official weekend of summer.

Have fun and stay safe.  

See you in June!

BUMBLE BEES & BUTTERFLIES

SUMMER ARTS CAMP begins in less than one month!

The bumble bees are buzzing...

...the butterflies are fluttering,

...flowers are blooming.

The dragonflies are gobbling up all the bad mosquitos {so we don't get bitten},

...and the ladybugs are exploring Mother Nature's wonders.

Leaves are green with envy...

...and our camp site is bursting with excitement! We hope that you will join us in June.

MOTHER NATURE GARDEN ARTS DAY is just one of the delightful themed art days the Camper Kids will enjoy.

DOODLE DAY ARTS ~ PART DEUX {Pronounced "do" as in "doodle!"}

Our second week of Summer Arts Camp could not have been better. 

{Our doodle tools for the day.}

Again, many of our SAC Alumni were with us, as well as our new favorite SAC Camper Kids!   {But you know by now that we love them all, and they are all our favorites!}

It's tradition to begin each Summer Arts Camp week with "Doodle Day Arts" and this year's projects were fabulously wonderful.

Each Camper Kid put their hand prints all over us...

...with LOVE and JOY...

...and watermelons and strawberries!

We doodled on plates with Sharpies and created marvelous monograms, a riot of rainbows, and some serious sports designs.  

We even created a memento with all the Camper Kids' autographs {from both weeks...which we will keep forever!}.

We made "selfies" and had fun getting to know each other.  

I even had a minute to create my own "selfie" on a plate with a black Sharpie.

It was a wildly creative day and great start to our second week of Summer Arts Camp 2015!
