Art Camp


Last week the boys attended Grace Art Camp, a day camp run by Grace Episcopal Church in NE Portland. They had a great time and came home with a bunch of art projects. They both made contelays, were not quite sure how it's spelled-a five string musical instrument from (possibly) Sweeden. They also painted their own t-shirts, did drama, played capture the flag, and a number of other things.

Joe's favorite projects were the small box he painted. Now he keeps his Pokemon badges in it. He also made a glass pendant with a piece of foil inside that has a sword design on it.

Tim was proud of the viking symbols he drew on his clay disc. The camp has a folk story each week, and the boys were hearing a traditional Scandanavian story (evidently with viking overtones.) The symbols Tim drew meant ancestors home. He also drew/painted a pokeball onto glass to hang in his window.

Both boys had an incredible time at the camp and are asking to do it again next year.
