Art Camp!!

Bad, Bad, Momma hasn't updated Alison's art blog in ages. She still creates tons of artwork, I've just been bad about having her take pictures and helping her post them. So thanks to a friendly nudge from my friend Sybil (who's daughter also has an art blog), I'm resurrecting Alison's art blog starting with her Art Camp work.


Just in case you haven't heard, Alison is going to Spring Break Art Camp this week. Yesterday was Day 1 and she loved it. She didn't get to bring anything home though because it was a 2 day project. So today she finished it up and brought it home. We have no idea what she'll be doing tomorrow and she can't wait to go back and find out!








Yesterday they made a swirly design on the paper and colored all the different shapes different colors to make a random rainbowish background. Then they painted over it with black paint.















Today they drew a picture with pencil. Colored the backside of the picture with chalk, then laid it chalk side down on the black paper.


















Then they traced their picture with a pen, which transferred the chalk to the black paint, which they then scraped away to make their picture.

Plus, since they only used 1/2 of the page they made yesterday, Alison has an extra page to transfer a new design on later. What a bonus!
