Last week was the YEStudio Summer Camp, at FAB's ArtSpace, in Maryville. The students made a diorama in the theme of:
"A Day at the Beach"
Each day, the students used a different art medium. Monday, they used Colored Pencils to fashion a Lighthouse or a Lifeguard's Chair. These were done using the grid method.
Tuesday was Pastel Kites day. Each student drew and designed the kites in their own unique style. Some kites had a different design on each side.
Wednesday was for Watercolor Sand Castles. They drew their own designs, front and back, then sprinkled salt on their wet castles to produce a very cool effect!
On Thursday, the YES-Kids used Acrylic paints to finish their Clay Beach Toys, which were built in spare moments here and there. The Beach Umbrellas, which were also done with Acrylics, were an awesome addition to the diorama! They can be seen on the finished pieces below. Here they are!

Friday the YES-Kids assembled the projects onto their dioramas. They put some added touches on their sandy beaches with glue and glitter.
Since all the students' names begin with 'K', they did a side project using a fiber board 'K'. They painted, glued and papered their 'Ks' to get the following results. Very impressive!
'K' is for Kassidi! 'K' is for Katelyn!
'K' is for Konner! 'K' is for Kyleigh!
Everyone had a good time doing their projects at the YEStudio Summer Camp. We enjoyed the new students and as always, loved seeing our returning kids.
