"Hippie"
PM Little kids camp
Materials: liquid water color, glue, construction paper
During this project, the children were asked to crumble up white pieces of paper and paint the paper (while still crumbled), unfolding it gives tie dye effect, as the paint went into only certain parts of the paper! Some kids actually found great difficulty in this but a lot of their problems caused their projects to be more creative. Avery picked some of her favorite colors and did her best filling the paper.
This is what she found to be most difficult in the process of making this project: "The hardest part about this project was filling in all of the white spots on the paper". But it got much easier, when the paint dried the children cut the different sheets of various patterns and colors and made them into collages.
This is where Avery felt she had more artistic freedom: "The easiest part and my favorite part of it was putting it all together".
Once she was finished she found enjoyment in watching and helping other students out, almost as if she was one of the teachers!
