Art Camp

During the second week of June Kylie attended art camp at her school from 8-12 each day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Each day they learned about a different country, a famous painter/painting and different painting techniques. Day 1, France; Day 2, Japan; Day 3, Africa; Day 4, Mexico and Day 5 was for setting up the art show that they put on for family to come to.

The art show was so cute. They had little chairs set up in front of each section so you could sit and admire the art if you wanted. They had a little line for you to not cross so you can't touch and disturb the art. :)

They also had a meat & cheese tray and a veggie tray for you to snack on after viewing everything.

She was so excited for the art show! She even put on a skirt and fancy sweater to look all nice for it. :)

Here are some pictures from the art show so you can see Kylie's work. :)
