The third week of camp is full of great stories!
The morning session,"Cartooning is Cool", was taught by Jeff Kinzel. The students had the opportunity to write their own plot lines for their very own cartoons. They created super heroes and action adventures.
The class was able to learn the principles of traditional cartooning and apply it to their own action filled stories.
Jeff took the class to view an Illustration Exhibition to talk with them about how different artist's handle communicating their stories visually.
In the afternoon, "3-D Adventure", was led by Kelly Baisley.
One of the projects was musical and artistic, using recycled materials to create rain sticks.

Summer Art Camp in Full Swing!
Our second week of summer art camp with our Kindergarten through 2nd graders was brought into full swing with Dorothy Hanbright's class "People, Places and Things".
Building a home...
... and learning to paint with watercolors.
Here the class is learning the artistic process of critique with their night-scape paintings. Each student has an opportunity to talk about their piece of art work as well as offer encouragement to their classmates.
Here is the class in front of their paintings after a full morning of making art work!
In the the afternoon session, the class "Color Your World" was led by Celia Gray.
A young artist with his well balanced sculpture.
One of our magnificent summer interns, Lindsay, assisting the students with some very fun and very messy materials.
Three-dimensional and colorful; the students had the opportunity to build and then to color their very own world!

All About Sculpture!
The first week of this year's Asheville Art Museum Summer Art Camp was all about sculpture with our Kindergarten through 2nd graders! In Dorothy Hanbright's class "Buildin' Art", the student's began their journey into sculpture by creating a relief sculpture using a paper shaping technique along with glue and paint. The effect was a woven, colorful, relief sculpture.
Excited to show off their three dimensional bird and fish mobiles during art critique.
The afternoon class was "Mixed Up and Messy", taught by Nora Mosrie. The students worked on making some incredibly expressive, silly characters that were not only three dimensional but very much full of the life and character each student brought to the class!
Students busy at work in the studio....
... and the finished projects!!!
