Session 4 Art Shows!

Session 4 came to a close on Friday, and everyone had a blast exploring our outdoor morning art shows! Our youngest groups stayed in their classrooms before their parents brought them outside to see the other kids' work. While today marks the first day of the last session of Summer Spree 2014, take a look at some photos from the last day of the second-to-last session this summer!

Lysi, of the Red Group, arranged her ceramic creations and hand made picture frame on newspaper in her classroom. 

The result of the Orange Group's drip/splatter-paint projects, featuring a decorative cupcake made of plaster, mod-podge, and tissue paper.

Roxy, of the Yellow Group, high-riving the camera before joining her group of masked artists!

The Green Group made these awesome life-sized self-portraits and hung them on the outside of the water tower. Good thinking!

Kids show their parents the mini-castles they've been working on with Bob & Drew in the Children's Garden.

Below are more shots from the Afternoon's Red Group Art Show! 

This group sang the words to "Let it Go" from Frozen with added dance moves from Choreographer Jen for their parents at the art show.

Session 4 Fun Goes On!

The past two days have been full of tie dye! Check out all these dyed little hands and a couple afternoon girls in action.

This morning, I walked around and saw some really great artwork in the Classrooms of the Turquoise Group, who did collage work as well as printing. The Orange group was doing some active art outside with repurposed Keurig cups, and the Red Group was working with watercolors and salt to make an icy affect on their artwork.

What a cool idea, Sara!

Adrianna rubbing salt into her watercolor painting, which will crystalize as it dries.

The Orange Group has also been working on these plaster faces decorated with found objects and medallions from the ceramics studio!

This afternoon was another day of Hula with Jenn from HoopFrenz! In addition to the cool stuff the kids got to do last time Jenn visited Summer Spree, today the kids made hoop-huts in groups to practice working together. They also played new games like limbo and learned how to be ninjas with their hula hoops. What a blast!

Jake climbed into the hoop-hut he made with his group to pose for this shot.

Session 4 is here!

Session 4 at Summer Spree started yesterday, and we're overflowing with kids during this one week session! Mornings have been hectic since this blogger also doubles as the tie dye instructor, but this afternoon, I had time to walk around and check out what the Red and Orange Groups were up to. The Orange Group was in ceramics making turtles and other pinch-pot-inspired creations while the Red Group hung out with Yogi Kim in the ballroom.

Sheldon (of the Orange Group) hard at work on her pinch pot.

Jake checking out Janai's handiwork.

The Red Group practicing their "Mountain Pose."

Roxanna's go-to move when she heard that her group was doing yoga was to sit in this position and say "Om."
