DADE CITY ART CAMP - Plaster faces

These poured plaster faces were created by Elizabeth, Devin, Ella and Halieigh in week one of art camp. I love how each face is as unique and special as the girl who made it!

PAINTING PLASTER FACES - DADE CITY ART CAMP

DADE CITY ART CAMP July/Aug 2012

Has it been a whole year since I've posted anything here? I decided to take a break from teaching this year to concentrate on writing my art curriculum. Now that I've almost got grades one and two ready to send out to potential publishers, I'm ready to get back into teaching again. This week, and next, I've been privileged to work with the Dade City Center for the Arts and Hi Brow Art Gallery to teach Art Camp to ages 4-8. I had the most wonderful group of kids this past week and can't wait to show you some of their work!! Stay tuned!
