It's mural by committee

Today the kids decided to finish a banner that was started during our first week.

Week 3, a whole different dynamic

Last  week at Blocks PAper Scissors we were full of boys. Lots of sword play, airplanes, large sculpture and marble runs. This week is different. We have many young lady artists. These girls love to work together and create drawings about their families, animals and small personal sculptures.

As with any art program that focuses on children and their ideas, the work is fantastically individual. 

Aidens' Marble Bounce

Taking cues from his friends Aiden experimented with bouncing a marble to begin his marble run.

Sean's New Invention

Block building center at BPS is always busy. Sean and some of his colleagues demonstrate a new marble run design.

The hard work of art.

Yesterday I got home and was exhausted and I thought how hard kids work when they make art. Not just physically but mentally.  With all the switching between centers and ideas, these children are tired and worn out by the end of class.

Wild and Crazy

Today was wild and crazy day at camp. Many of the boys (and girls) decided to don their Roman shields and grab their swords for a little play. It's hard to say no when they are so into what they're doing.

We met some new campers today who brought with them a lot of new ideas to share with the class.

Ethan is a huge wrestling fan and by the look of this video so are some of the others.

This camper has created a car track lined with all kinds of plants: flowers, trees and cactus and even has an Egyptian pyramid
