Amazing Artists Work Here At BPS!

We have had an awesome first week at BPS Camp. Here is one of our youngest artists ever demonstrating his new invention!

End of week one

Today was the last day. While many children will not return, we are getting a whole new crew. Thank you to the parents and kids who participated. We hope the kids has a good time. 

The art of discovery

One of the benefits of the student-centered approach to art education is discovery. When kids work with their ideas, they create their own problems to solve. The act of figuring out, experimenting and finally solving problems creates ownership. 

These girls wanted to have a loop in their marble run but needed more speed in their marble. Solution? Raise the run up in order to gain speed.

Chase and Sophia's drawing project

Chase and Sophia have created a wonderful collection of fantasy animal characters. Listening to Chase describe the characters is always a wonderful experience!

Day Two

The card board construction center was being put to good use today as well as jewelry making.

Kinetic Artists!

Fabulous 30 ft marble run created this morning at our first day of camp!

New beginnings

Today we started year three with 17 campers. There are many familiar faces and some new friends. The kids jumped right in with familiar activities such as creating awesome marble runs, puppets and drawing. Some even started weaving with CD's!

It's a great start to a great camp. I can't wait to see what these kids can come up with.
