summer school

Art Club is on hiatus for the summer. The kids should be keeping up with their sketching and crocheting, and we'll pick up with our chair theme again in the fall. I asked the art club students to find an old chair this summer, either at a garage sale or in their basements, to transform next year into a "super chair" -- one that in functional and empowered with special qualities. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Last summer I had several optional art club meetings during vacation, but attendance was sporadic with all the different family schedules. This summer I simply asked students to keep in touch and plan on a show and share session when we regroup. Many of the art club kids attend camps and other art classes in the summer where they pick up new crafts and techniques to share with the group.

Sometimes I offer summer mini camps (last year we did several weeks of miniatures), but this summer I will be quite busy with a new baby due in July. I hope to have some updates for the blog this summer (maybe we will hear how Sylvia's new hat business is going or get a chance to visit Carina's fairy forts?) but the entries will be less frequent.

Keep it up art club! Have a great break.
