Art Camp


Last week, the boys did morning art camp at the Botanical Gardens.  When I signed them up, I had images of them sitting with their easels amidst the flowers and plants, lot of nature -- but no.  It turns out that Art Camp takes place in this warehouse-like basement.  They only go to the Conservatory for a bathroom break.

Despite this let-down, I think the teacher was very good, and the boys enjoyed it (especially Matthew).  This week, they're doing Construction Camp (both) and Clay Camp (Matthew).

(On the last day, they did abstract paintings, and the teacher asked them each to show the class and, on the spur of the moment, give a title if they had one for their piece. Matthew named his "Random Shapes."  Apropos, I thought!)
