Registration IS OPEN!! All NEW Camps at Camp heARTful!

Hey isn't this exciting news? I am dreaming and scheming these days and I am excited to launch 3 fun-faith-filled-learning-packed art camps for this summer 2018! Same great price, same great studio!

On-line Registration is NOW OPEN 

HERE 

  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

Take a look at past projects

Camp heARTful Session 1-Amazing!

The Apprentice Art Studio ~Session 1 Camp heARTful

Getting Camp heARTful Session II ready for tomorrow, but in the mean time, I wanted to post some pretty fun pictures of the girls and their beautiful projects. Yes can you believe it I had all girls in the first session, which made it quite special. 

Here is what the students said this week:

                 " I love this art camp" 

      

                                            "I like this art class better than other art classes I have taken"  

             "I want to do the next session too!"  

                               "Mrs. Wombacher you are so much fun!"

I must admit we had a great time together learning, sharing, growing and creating. We all had happy hearts! Loved every second, dear girls! Thanks Joanna, Leah, Julie, Alexis, Elizabeth and Rachel, you all are amazing girls

Last Day of Camp HeARTfull

Lesson #5: TRANSFORMATION

WOW! What a week it has been! I hope you can see the joy of learning and creating on these camper's faces. I have had such a blast with these wonderful kiddos!

On our last day together, we looked at the idea of being changed into a new creature! In our heartful bible time we looked at scriptures that talk of this very thing.  For example:

2 Cor. 5:17 tells us:Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 

On the board is ways in which to live out that transformation found in Romans 12:9-16

For our creative project we created specimen box butterflies. The campers had a great time creating their own beautiful butterflies as a representation of themselves and what happens when you give your life to Christ, you become a new creation alive this the Spirit of God living in you! Pretty awesome.  

We also shared our week with our parents with a mini art show. The perfect ending to Camp HeARTful. If you are interested in Camp HeARTful 2 contact me via this blog. 

Camp HeARTfull ~Day#4

Lesson #5: Freedom

Can't you hear the Braveheart Battle cry?Freeedooommmm!

In our heartful bible lesson today we discussed what it means to be enslaved to sin. I asked the campers what kinds of ways are people entangled in sin. Here again is a great word picture from the bible about  being enslaved to something.

 I just love the answers these sweet children gave me. Things like: bad attitudes (had to smile at that one lynn), rebellion, back talking, lying, stealing, rolling your eyes.

These campers also talked about what keeps them enslaved. But the best part, was that they wrote a small prayer in their journals asking Jesus to help them with whatever it was. Priceless!

For their art project we collaged a heart and stamped and painted then put Galatians 5:1 across our hearts, figuratively and literally. 

The classroom at the end of our time.

Wrapping Up the Summer With Making Lessons

Look at those sweet faces and that sweet ART!

As I prepare for the Fall, I am not only working on the studio space, but I am also finishing up summer classes I taught called Making Lessons~The Art of Making Meaningful Things. These classes were so fun to teach through my church, First Presbyterian Church. I especially loved sharing spiritual truth from the Bible along with our projects, hence the meaningful things part! Here are some pictures of the fun we had making our Household of Faith Collage Canvases (or houseboats of faith :o) using my paraphrased version of Romans 12:9:18.

Mother and Daughter Duo made this masterpiece!
I love how they added the verse everywhere-super special

This mixed media collage has great detail and dimension!

Adding Rom. 12:9-18 to her canvas.

Doing art together is a great way to spend some time together!

Love the swirly sky, a bit Van Gogh-esque!

Finishing up the canvas with a nice coat of my favorite Mod Podge.

If this is something you wish you could have done, well don't despair, I will be offering these classes again this fall so check out my class list HERE and sign up(FYI: space is limited) I am also offering an adult class and student classes too, a little something for everyone! Any questions send me an email via the contact box to the left.
