This week was the mark of our last full week of summer camp with the kids. We usually do morning and afternoon classes and this will be the last week of doing that. The theme of the week was Crafty Critters. All of the projects that we did were related to some type of animal. I would say that there was a big focus on sculpting this week. They created ceramic owl figurines as well as somewhat of a jungle scene in a glass jar. In addition to these things, we made animal masks and giant cardboard animal standees. All of the kids seemed to be very excited about this theme because it gave them the opportunity to walk the line between fiction and reality. They did not have to create artwork of real animals, we had unicorns as well as other made up monsters. It was nice seeing them being able to have fun expressing themselves! 

As for me, I started the week off with helping with prep work as well as being in  the classrooms helping the teachers through their lessons. Later in the week, while Phyllis was not there I took over her role of overseeing everything as well as preparing to make the art show videos. This week was made slightly stressful because on Wednesday I didn’t feel very good which through me off for the rest of the week. But the show had to go on and I did what I needed to do to get through the rest of camp!
