Last Day of Unit 1







This week was all about exploring media other than traditional paint and drawing materials. To end the week, campers were treated to a special breakfast. They were they then introduced to popular Brazillian artist Vik Muniz. He is amazing, because he draws photorealistic images with unorthodox materials ranging from chocolate syrup to diamonds. His final product is simply a photograph of what he has created. After students were shown examples of Muniz's work they created their own drawings using only syrup. Afterwards, they were each able to take a digital photograph of their creation. For the second part of the project, students utilized the park to create another drawing using items such as sticks, soil and leaves.
