Camp #3 Camp Creation

In the Beginning...

Camp Creation begins Aug. 6th- 10th. The focus of this amazing camp will be the Creation Story. How the God of the Universe spoke into existence everything we see, hear, feel, taste, and smell. Isn't is cool that He gave us our senses so that we can take it all in and enjoy it? Campers will look to nature for inspiration, as well as, the Bible.

I have been wanting to do this camp for a while now and can't wait! Being a maker of beauty is Biblical!   Each day we will focus on a day of creation and create something that will represent that day. This is a fun way to celebrate, explore and think about how miraculous and creative all of life really is.

Day 1 Let there be Light

Day 2 Sky and Water

Day 3 Sun Moon and Stars

Day 4 Land and Sea

 

Day 5 Sea Life and Birds of the Air

Day 6 Animals and Mankind

and then God rested on the seventh day! "And God saw all that He had made and it was very good." Gen. 1:31

I hope you will join us for Camp Creation!On-line registration is open for this camp HERE

Camp Apprentice Atlelier- Van Gogh

My first Master Study for Kids is during Apprentice Atelier at Camp heARTful this summer! And it  is all about Vincent Van Gogh and his impact on the art world. Students will create in Van Gogh style. Campers will explore with his techniques using pen and ink sketches before taking paint to canvas.

Students will experiment with repeating lines and patterns which is so recognizable in

 Van Gogh's work.

Campers will also get to use watercolor, practice mark making and do a fun 3-D project to celebrate Vincent and end our week. 

Apprentice Atelier- Van Gogh begins June 18th-22nd

  CAMP DESCRIPTIONS:

NEW! The Apprentice Atelier!
This is a new series in the studio. So if you have have come to art camp before this might just be what you are looking for.  In this camp, kids will study the life of an amazing Master Artist. Campers will complete projects centered around the artists life, create art the way the artist might have done, using similar tools and mediums. There is no better way to understand an artist than to create like them.
AND there is no better way to start this series than with one of my favorite artists, Van Gogh.

NEW! Paths and Purpose
What path are you on? Do you have a map? Where will your journey take you? In this camp kids will explore who they are in Christ and complete several projects having to do with identity and purpose. I want each camper to understand that they are able to re-orient their lives with the right tools and our Big God! Good Stuff!

NEW! Camp Creation!
I have been wanting to do this camp for a while now and can't wait! Campers will look to nature for inspiration, as well as, the Creation story. Being a maker of beauty is Biblical! Projects will center around the days of creation. "And God saw all that He had made and it was very good." Gen. 1:31

Camp HeARTfull ~Day 3

The fun and learning continue! 

Lesson #3:Being Beautiful Vessels for God

During our heartfull bible time we looked at Isaiah 64:8 which talks about our Father as the potter and we are the clay.This word picture that He is molding and making into the kind of people He wants us to be, so we can do what He wants us to do. 

We discussed how man looks at our outsides but God see our true self, our hearts.

For our creative time we made vessels to hold a tea light and then symbolically painted our vessels after this verse. Wait till you see the insides!

  We also talked about what goes in is also what comes out of our hearts. So we looked up verse 4:8 in Philippians in the New Testament to find out how to do this.

Aren't they just marvelous! I love them so much!

Camp HeARTfull Art Camp is Amazing!

Supplies! Check. Folders! Check. Bible Lessons! Check. Sign Made! Check 

Everything is ready.

Camp HeARTfull is named for a heart-full of God's word and ART. So each day the campers do a bible lesson and an art project connecting the biblical truths they learned that day. It is a great way to make it all stick! We had an awesome time learning who God created us to be AND doing fun art on day 1!

This is the best of bible study and art lessons for kids! 

Lesson 1: Plan and Purpose- God has a plan and we have a purpose! 

Squirt gun painting and material prep!

As we prepared our materials the kids learned that they also have a purpose. We too, are created with purpose and this is revealed to us as we grow in the strength and knowledge of our Lord.

The aftermath of squirt gun painting-doesn't it look like fun?

The purpose of their painting was finally revealed and they created a journal to hold their bible study lessons in for the week. From those sweet faces, it looks like they had fun creating.

More to come tomorrow!

Painting Flowers! Class Registration is Open

I love flowers. If  I have to pick a pattern, I will always pick the floral pattern. I have enjoyed flowers my whole life. From the time when I was a child making clay beads,with flower decals, in the garage with my mom, to my cottage business making ribbon flower brooches, to growing roses in my yard.There is something so soft and feminine about them. I. Love. Them.
