Ella's Art Camp

Today Ella went to an art camp at P'zazz Art Studio in downtown Prattville ( http://www.pzazzart.com ). She has always been very artistic and loves to draw, color, and paint.  Last year for school, she had to keep up with a notebook where she drew pictures of the lesson she learned about that day and I was quite impressed by her perspective and the detail of some of the drawings. She has been interested in art class but also still interested in dance and gymnastics.  Since she can't do both, I let her take this summer art day camp to get her feet wet and see what she thought.  She got to work with several different mediums to include watercolor, acrylic, chalk, and charcoal.  When I picked her up today, she was already begging to go back :)  I was also very impressed by her work today.  I even asked her several times, "You did this all by yourself....with no help?"  I think she did a GREAT job and am more than happy to let her pursue this creative side of her (not to mention, they learn about art history by studying a famous artist each month)!

A seahorse.  Her teacher only helped with the eye...That's it!!!

In honor of the upcoming 4th of July

Done with chalk....she called it 'Crazy Mountains'

She had a harder time explaining this one, but said they were learning about shadowing.
