Blast Away with Colors!

Once again the Redlands Art Association has had another wonderful and amazing Summer: 4 sessions of “Art Camp” for kids. The RAA teachers also want to thank Mrs. Patty Hayden for all her incredible work, with the kid’s classes. We gladly welcome our current Education Coordinator “Sue K” who is a creative and dedicated artist. During Art Camp # 2, Ms. Gloria Steinweg helped teach the younger kids ages 6-9. Students were very involved learning about clay, painting and more. They did a collage of Green Sea Turtles, with newsprint and blue types of cloth pieces. Students did a Self Portrait, as a farmer (inspired by Grant Wood’s “American Gothic”). Students did a watercolor scene of the ocean with their own creative boat design! All and all, it was a fabulous summer! Thanks to all the teachers involved! Thanks to the support of dedicated parents, and fun young artists! (photos of Art Camp#2 included)

Like Karly would say "Red, White, and..BOO!" for 4th of July!!
