Art Camp Creative Lessons for Children Author:Eric Gibbons Total, this FULL COLOR book includes 225 great ideas under one cover used in a real camp with ages 7 though 16. It is organized by genre, so painting and drawing ideas are put first, sculpture is next, followed by clay, and photography. The books ends with 88 sketchbook ideas that can be turned into daily drawing projects, or used when a project... more » finishes too quickly. We know budgets are often tight, so all our lessons are open to interpretation. If you don?t have plaster, the sculpture can be made in paper mache. If you don?t have acrylics, often watercolor or tempera paints will be a good alternative. You can even re-imagine projects that we have listed as drawing or painting and do them as a sculpture, and vise versa. Many sculpture projects can be done in clay, this is why our clay-specific lessons may seem limited. Be open to creative possibilities and you will find several years of lesson ideas here. This book is a consolidation of lessons from our art education publications, plus lessons we have created for our own summer camp program. Some may be completed in a day, some will take longer. We will not include crafting directions that are easily obtained on the internet, but will include a link to pages we feel are helpful. Some lessons may be craft-based but will have a fine art ?twist? so that projects are more personal and expressive. Our regular art education books reference connections to core course content like math, science, literature, and more. These references have been removed from this book as well as lessons that are more ?academically focused.? We feel this collection is broad, includes more exploratory lessons, and lessons that have a summer-camp-vibe.« less
