Artists at Work
Every volunteer for camp this week uses some form of art in their profession. Each of them presented their work to the students today.
Here are a few things the students had to say about what they learned:
It comes in many shapes and forms. There are a lot of opportunities, not only the title of "artists". The photography and advertisement seem really interesting. -Jessica
It takes a lot of work. It would be really fun to make books.
I learned that art can be used in a lot of different jobs in the professional world. I could see myself being a graphic designer. -Kayce
Art is a coping skill and something they just winged. I would enjoy photography. -Lindsey

Graphic Design Poster Themes
For the Graphic Design course each student will create a poster using a self-chosen theme related to something that they are passionate about, or, where their heart is!
These students would like to tell you what theme they chose and why:
ASHLEY: My family & music cause these matter to me. They make me feel better about my life.
LINDSEY: My them is "stay together or leave forever" and the reason I picked this theme is because everybody has some one that they love and every one has some one who left them for a longtime.
MISTY: I am going to make my theme about my culture and I will use pictures of eagles and wolves.
JESSICA: My theme for this project is musicals. I chose this because musicals are a big part of my life. I love to see them and to be in them. Musicals are also a common interest in my family that brings us together. I find how them fascinating and I am really passionate about it.
KAYCE: My theme for this project is love and music. I chose It because I really believe in love and love can do anything. And music because music helps me through everything. Music helps me express the words that I can’t say.

beautiful large scale drawing! Can't wait to watch

My family because they're always there and have loved me no matter what. My friends because they help me get through everything. -Kayce
Other than family, nothing really. -Misty
My education because I want to be a teacher and possibly a singer. -Mz. Ti3
My biological family cause I have the strongest feelings for them. -Ashley
Art because it is fun and loving. -Lindsey
