MEMORIES FROM SUMMER ARTS CAMP 2014

This delightful collection of photographs in video format of the Summer Arts Camps 2014 Camper Kids is a joy to watch.  It's less than five minutes long and worth every minute.  I hope you will take a moment to enjoy and consider joining us again this year.  

We loved having each and every one of you!

Memories made, friendships not forgotten, and artwork to die for!

For those of you who have not yet experienced the creative fun we have at Summer Arts Camp, please consider camping out with us this June.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

A quick intermission from our art blog posts for a very important and HUGE shout out to our Summer Arts Camp Sponsors!

{Week One SAC Camper Kids}

Your contributions and support made Summer Arts Camp 2014 the best it could be, and for that...

...we all thank all of you!

{Week Two SAC Camper Kids}

Enjoy the rest of your summer and hope to see you again next year!

Love from,

The SAC Camper Kids

MOTHER NATURE INSPIRED

We celebrated the beauty of Mother Nature during both weeks of Summer Arts Camp this year creating upcycled woodland gardens, tiny terrariums, flower fairies, and painted bird houses.

With some supplies from our sponsors, we created mixed media flower gardens by hand painting wooden boards, collected from Ahn's Karate {these were pine boards kicked in half during testings} and some crazy pieces of the same wood cut by Mr. Reg with the jigsaw. 

 Flowers made with bottle caps and Popsicle sticks were planted, bugs hatched from corks, and rainbows of butterflies flew out of a box of paint chips given to us by Acme Paint & Decorating.

While the paint was drying, the Camper Kids went on a hike in our woods and collected twigs, leaves, blueberries, roses and daisies, pods, and herbs from our garden.  Suddenly a family of garden characters came alive in our SAC tent!

With the bare minimum of tools and lots of imagination the Camper Kids began to daydream and create their very own and very own personal garden creatures ~ each with their very own story.

Winged Flower Fairies and sturdy Green Guys.

A pine cone bird.

Taking a little time to smell the flowers.

A summer romance.

Boy sees Girl.

Boy chases Girl.

Boy gives Girl flowers.

Girl dreams of flowers.

Then came the Garden Fairy houses...or so some said!  Petite bird houses were painted and bejeweled in a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors, each one unique and showing off the personality of it's owner.

It's easy to say that the Camper Kids had fun in and out of the garden on our Garden Arts Day!

SAC PACKS - EURO STYLE!

We are excited to unveil our new logo for the SAC Packs!

We have custom designed a Euro-style graphic for the cotton canvas totes which not only appeals to the slightly old age group of boys and girls we have this summer, but also is timeless so that their totes may be used year after year.

It's hip, it's cool, it's on your cotton canvas drawstring SAC Pack!  Perfect for toting around your summer gear to the pool, taking on a bike ride, or an overnight visit.

Got yours?

ALL AMERICAN

Thank you to all the soldiers who fought for our freedom.

In honor of the American holidays this summer, one of our themed art days at Summer Arts Camp 2014 will be All American Arts Day.  This hand painted banner is one of the projects the Camper Kids will be creating in celebration of our American patriotism.

Wishing you all a happy Memorial Day.  

Stay safe and be proud.

OH, THE ARTISTS WE'LL MEET...

...and the faces we'll see.

Some new.

Some familiar.

Some silly.

And some critters.  {Those would be Guss our SAC Mascot and Gucci our lopsided lop bunny.}

We are happy that we will be meeting so many new Camper Kids this June and especially pleased that many of our SAC 2013 alumni will be returning.

We still have some openings during both weeks, but camp sites are filling up quickly.  Secure your spot and register today!

We want to create with you!

NEW FRIENDS

First there was one...

...then two,

three...

...and suddenly, a group of new friends gathered to create wonderful works of art at Summer Arts Camp!

What will their faces look like?  

We don't know yet, but can't wait to meet all of the Camper Kids this June!  

Won't you join us too?

EASTER WISHES

This little lopsided lop wants to wish all of you a very Happy Easter weekend.

{This is Gucci, and some of the 2013 Camper Kids became friendly with him last year.  When he's not taking a nap or eating fresh fruit or veggies, Gucci helps us in the studio.}

While we have been working on creative projects for Summer Arts Camp 2014 in our studio, Gucci has been very creative in his garden this Spring...

Planting colorful flowers and painting giant Easter eggs...

Making sure that there is a Southern Gentleman Rabbit to watch over the garden...

...and a Southern Belle Bunny to pick posies and hide Easter eggs under the blooms for the baby bunnies.

Who said that Easter eggs did not grow on trees?

We found some.

What will you find in your basket this Easter Sunday?  Whatever it is, I am sure it will be filled with LOVE.

Happy Easter creative friends.
