Dear Families,
We are having an awesome week full of art, music, games, park outings, rain, friendships and more!
Ms. Joss and Ms. Diane are leading The Learning Specialist + Afternoon only art camps and the students have been creating ceramic animals and mixed media outer space paintings, using tempra paint sticks and watercolor for their fantastical planets. As usual, Ms. Joss brings creative, fun energy to camp and the students have also had lego time, block time, park time, and games.
Ms. Salma, Ms. Maliya and Ms. Jennifer are holding down the fort with our Gamers inspired camp at our Slowfire Studios location in the arts district of Oak Park. Students have been making their own pokemon, ceramic tic tac toe boards, Vincent Van Gogh (Super Mario) sunflowers, minecraft perler bead magnets, minecraft swords, and more! Students also have been playing with games, legos and going to the park. Today they will visit two museums in Elmhurst, the Elmhurst Historical Society and the Elmhurst Art Museum!
Ms Metzli, Ms Alice, and Mr Shane are leading the charge at our Taylor Vs Olivia camp held at our Pink House studio! The children are having a great time learning new instruments and songs this week: Lover, Good 4 U, Jealousy Jealousy, Message in A Bottle, and Bejeweled
In the painting/drawing and ceramics daily classes, students are making polaroid picture holders in clay, handbuilt bowls and our Group C students are throwing on the wheel (Group C is our oldest group). With Ms Metzli, students are making fantasy dream houses and learning how to mix colors, work 3 dimensionally and plan their artwork in advance ( a real and important skill!).
We will post video from the children's friday final songs on our facebook and instagram pages this weekend as well as in our blog.
We post all week long, as well, online.
Follow us @slowfireceramics and SLOWFIRE on facebook. You can follow Mr. Shane, as well, on instagram at @pennylanemusiclessons
We do have a few spots in our upcoming camp weeks!
