One day was spent at the Art Gallery of Ontario:
~ exploring the Maharaja exhibition

and the kids loved climbing up the famous Frank- Gehry designed sculptural curly staircase to the 5th floor to view the modern painters and David Blackwood's etchings

...and then we capped it off with a snack and drink in the cafe.

Snow painting in the woods.

We made plaster hands waiting to be finished off with a few touches of 'this' & 'that'!

Spring skiing bekonned for these kids so the days ended early ~ yeah for fun & creativity!

2010 Summer Art Camp: Week 3 in Mississauga

A younger crowd; 9 children and a fully packed week!

Ibraheem putting on the final touches...

Collaging is fun....

Glitter-gems-feathers-and fabrics...all you need is glue now...where did it go?

Art supplies galore...

Time to play outside!

And race to the hill in the park!

Downward Dog time...

And a break by the cool stream.

Samantha's leaving early and showing us her beautiful creations :-)

Designs on paper

Machaila's display of her creations ~ she brought the Barbie flyer that all the girls went gaga over!

Gianluca and his cool art..note the painting

Alexia...with all her creations...lots of pink!

Ibraheem's art camp creations. Note his structural collage and then the collage of architectural sites...a budding architect?

The only plaster hand that "turned-out" by Ibraheem.

Megan's work ready for showing her parents; cool Tie dye shirt; painting and collaging with Barbie pics

Maleeha posing with her fun creations! Again PINK is the favoured colour! And note her cool fabric design in her collage.

Ilaria's creations ready to take home.

It's all about the pink...and the T-shirt and turquoise 'Splash' painting were my favourites.

Art Camp is over..Here are the Thanks:

Thanks to the children, their awesome, creative curiosity, eagerness & their parents who entrusted me with them.
BIG thanks especially to Sharon & Eric, Alexia's parents, who opened their home to us all!
HUGE Thanks to Sharon for her assistance during the week: setting up the bouncy castle; helping with tearful moments of homesick kids; lunch duties and park excursions.!
And thanks to my daughter, Jennifer, coming by to help on pizza day and the ingenious "Simon Says" game to still the 'antsy' crowd before escaping to the park! ....2 days before giving birth (little did she know this!)
