For the past four years our daughter, Mackenzie, has been attending the Seven Hills Art Camp that is held during the summer. For the first time, they expanded it to two weeks this summer. The theme for the first week was wings, with a focus on birds. Mackenzie’s favorite part was making bird kites! The camp was founded and taught by Roberta Hammer, family friend and local artist. Throughout the year, Roberta also hosts an art class weekly at the Good Samaritan Center and gives lessons on various art methods to the students of various ages.
This year, Roberta asked my husband, Jason, if he would co-teach the camps with her. He enjoyed getting to be a part of the experience in teaching the camp! Here’s a feature of some of their work together over the past two weeks:
They made a giant nest that was big enough for all of the campers to fit in!
These photos above were all taken by Dr. S. Jason Cole. 🙂
The second week of Art Camp was themed “Pollinators”
Jason taught all of the students how to make their own insects out of wire by bending and shaping it to look like their pollinator.
My husband Jason taught the students lessons in stop-motion animation. Here are some videos from the two weeks:
