Art Camp Adventure: Chihuly-Inspired Paper Art Bowls


Our campers had an exciting adventure creating Chihuly-inspired paper art bowls. We explored new art mediums and focused on enjoying the process. check out below and see the fun we had!

What We Did

We started with simple materials:

  • Plastic cups (solo cups)
  • Large coffee filters
  • Water-based markers
  • Rubber bands
  • Liquid starch

First, each camper colored their coffee filters with water-based markers. They used bright, beautiful colors to make their filters look amazing.

Next, we placed the colored filters on top of plastic cups and secured them with rubber bands. Then, we sprayed the filters with liquid starch. This helped set the colors and gave the filters a unique texture.

The Process and Experience

Creating these Chihuly-inspired bowls was all about the process. Our campers enjoyed experimenting with different colors and patterns. They loved seeing how the liquid starch made the colors blend and spread on the filters.

We let the filters set up overnight on the cups. The next morning, we carefully removed the filters from the cups and revealed the beautiful paper art bowls. Each bowl was unique and colorful, just like the campers who made them!

Displaying Our Art

After making the bowls, we took photos to display our beautiful creations. It was a proud moment for all the campers to see their hard work showcased.

What We Learned

Creating these Chihuly-inspired bowls taught us:

  • How to use different art materials
  • The joy of experimenting with colors and techniques
  • Patience and creativity in the art-making process

Each bowl was a unique masterpiece, reflecting the creativity and imagination of its creator.

Final Thoughts

Art Camp is all about trying new things and having fun. Creating these Chihuly-inspired paper art bowls was a fantastic experience for everyone. We are so proud of our campers and their beautiful creations.

Stay tuned for more exciting art adventures at Art Camp!

Remember: Art is about exploring new techniques and enjoying the process. Keep creating and having fun!
