Summer Art Camps Offered!!

The summer schedule is set!  I am super excited to be offering all my classes this year in my home art studio (when I've told kids this at school they've been all ooooo......ahhhhhh).  Space is limited, so if you are interested, please email me at jennihorne@ymail.com for your space.  If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask!  Each 10-3 session will be packed with art making.  The focus for each day has a unique theme with the projects based on this theme.  I look forward to having your children in my studio!  Oh, and please notice the ages for each workshop.  The Tween Girl camp is for girls only ages 10-16.  The Young Masters camp is for boys AND girls entering 1st-5th grade.  And I can only host 12 per class. 

Partay Animals!

This summer I've chosen two themes to run with.  One is "Whimsical Houses" the other "Long-legged Animals".  These long-legged owls turned into quite the partying pair!  I can not wait to see what the little artists come up with when given this theme!

Whimsical Houses

 

Not much to say today.  Just that I love this painting.  I try to not paint so bright, but I have to.  I love playing with colors next to one another.  Mixing this orange, that pink and this green.  It's all a part of who I am as an artist.  And pretty sure it always will be.   You know the funny thing is I tend to wear a lot of black and white.  Hmm....I wonder what that symbolizes?

Grover...I mean Grovette

So this little guy was seriously one disaster after another.  From cracking clay to melting in half in the oven, he was doomed.  So I made Grover....a girl.  I just couldn't stand the suffering anymore.  hahaha....That and I was trying to cover up his decapitated neck scar.  The only thing laying around my studio to cover this scar was ribbon. Oh, and right before he got the bow, he fell face forward and the nose fell off.  I might have said a potty word at that point.

Grovette is the perfect example of why it's so important to have practiced the projects before camp time.  This year camps are only 10-3.  No over night's for drying.  Kinda stressful.  I've already altered the houses to be wood sculptures.  Our long-legged animals are going to be more wood now too.  It was still fun to craft these up.  And I learned a lot about sculpture and what to and not to do with my Tweens and Little Masters this summer!  Who's joining me?

Happiness Here

So after my little blog temper tantrum, I felt better.  Sometimes you just gotta get stuff off your chest ya know?  I used this frustration to get my body into the studio and finish up samples for art camp this summer.  Funny things happen when motivated to teach absolutely amazing projects to kids in the summer.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again....I love art camps.  I love planning, buying the supplies and making the samples.  I like to out-do myself each year.  It's my thing.  So this need to create came at a perfect time in my little artsy life.  Whew. I never liked kool-aid anyways. 

So more to come on camp dates.  Tiffin is whipping up some fantastic postcards to blast out to the world.  I also need to get into my website and update everything there.  In the meantime I intend to tease you with all the samples. 

 I mean seriously?  This house?  I know you want one!!!

Anyhoo....as soon as everything is ready you'll be the first to know here!!  I hope you have a fabulous weekend.  We have nothing on the docket.  So seeing Divergent is on the to-do list and maybe our first bonfire of the spring!
