Day Of The Dead - What is Dia de los Muertos?
We did a unit study on The Day Of The Dead.
I researched some cool patterned skulls and found this website
Excellent source for many cool art lessons, check it out.
What is Dia de los Muertos?
Dia
de los Muertos is a holiday for remembering and honoring those who have
passed. It is a festive, joyous time of celebration. Day of the Dead is
Mexico's most important holiday, which means they invest a lot of time
and money into celebrating Dia de los Muertos, moreso than any other
holiday.
Check out this website http://www.art-is-fun.com/day-of-the-dead-facts/ for all you need to know on The Day Of The Dead. (fun facts)

Cactus in Watercolor
This project was snagged off of Pinterest. Since we were doing art camp, we added a little salt and alcohol to get a few wows from the kids.
The Cacti Project
Talk about cactuses being shapes. Since we live in Georgia, we decided to buy a cactus plant at Walmart for our little campers to see. We really do not have a lot of cacti growing in our area.
Kids draw basic shapes with pencil.
When kids get the basic cactus plant drawn, they will need to draw lines and x's on each cactus.
Many kids learned that they had put too many details with pencil, but they all stuck with the project.
We took a lunch break.
After lunch, the kids began to paint with watercolor.
They were given salt and alcohol.
They just pinched salt with their fingers and put on the paper.
The alcohol was in small cups and they dipped Q-tips in the alcohol.
Then, they squeezed the alcohol off the Q-tip on their artwork.
Lots of oohs and ahhs with this cool effect.

Thanks to Camp Twin Lakes for inviting Callie to be a part of their Summer 2015 program. Camp Twin Lakes claims that the camp is "life changing" for campers. As a mother of a counselor, I believe the Camp Twin Lakes to be "life changing" for counselors, too.
