Summer Art Camp!
For the past 5 years, my parents have blessed @hippiedaughters 1 & 2, by paying for summer art camp!
The owners of The Nolin River Art Studio, Regina and Gary, are fantastic people and extremely talented artists!
Each summer they offer multiple weeks, of 4 day art camp. Morning groups and afternoon groups.
Each year the children learn about a different artist and create an art piece inspired by that artists work. The art is created by a multitude of materials. Often "junk", like buttons, trinkets, springs, sockets, coils, random dishes, silverware, jewelry, gadgets, jars, cans, lids, etc, etc!
Homeschool extra curricular score!!

This year they made African masks!
African Mask inspired by Romuald Hazoume, born 1962. He is an artist from the Republic of Benin. He is known for his mask series he started in mid-1980’s. His masks were made from discarded gasoline canisters.

The girls had a blast, as they do each year! And can't wait to enter their projects in the State Fair this summer!

Fun fact: The photographer for camp, is a friend of Regina & Gary. She helps out each year, and happens to have been our wedding photographer 10 years ago!

I dont know what that app is, but Im sure anything hands on is better than on a screen!
Yay! Thanks! Your minnow support project is awesome!
it doesnt exist.. and i hope it never does! -) <3
Oh good! Nope! Not here! My kids know how to use the phone for emergencies only. And we have an old Kindle tablet for 1 school app and a few books for school. But it rarely gets used.
Very detailed masks, very talented girls! Let us know what they win at the fair.
:)Thanks! I will update for sure!
They have won a ribbon each year so far!
I can see why, this is a good job! Nice summer fun for them.
:)How fun! Great job girls!
Thanks!❤
That's is a cool camp @corrielaine! I need to go look for one over here as I want my kids to be more creative and use their hands in doing and making stuff! #steemitmamas
It definitely sparks their creativity!
I Love this! So cool that they get to make art from an inspiring artist! They did such a good job on their masks...it’s cool that I can point out some of the things they used to make them! Thanks for sharing this! Your daughters are so adorable ~ 😊
Thanks @crosheille!
They had so much fun!
I think my favorite feature is the zipper tape braid on the pink one!
Yes it’s so cute!!
