Campers were introduced to Andy Warhol this week and looked at some of his iconic images. Most campers agreed, he had some funny hair, and looked a little "weird" as they put it. Campers enjoyed the repetition within his pieces and the colors he chose. We used styrofoam plates to gently carve our images into, then printed each plate four times to get the repeating effect of Warhol's work! Check out the results below!
Campers looked closely at the work of the impressionists one day this week as well. They faced the challenge of painting outdoors as the impressionists did. Initially, there was excitement, and many said "this will be so easy!!". Campers quickly learned how overwhelming it can be to choose your composition, and how some things in nature move. It was such an amazing experience, but sadly I forgot to take pictures of their final images! So below are some action shots!!
Our final day of camp we visited the National Gallery of Art to see work by the impressionists we learned about. Campers really enjoyed also finding the Degas dancer within the museum as well. You can see they tried to pose like the dancer! We again, got the compliment that we were one of the most responsible groups of artists the guards and docents had seen throughout the museum!!
