Ryan

Ryan, a rising 6th grader, accomplished so much in just 5 days at the Art Shack! Ryan was full of ideas and open to anything messy, that used paint, or was sculpting! He created two neat paper mache' creatures, 2 wall hangings, two paintings, and my favorite a Louise Nevelson inspired 3-D sculpture! I hope to see Ryan again next summer and can't wait to hear what he creates in middle school! Great work!

Kristen

If I could hire Kristen as the Art Shack's photographer and marketing manager...she would have the job! Her photographs capture light, texture, and create a sweet moment in time. And, her recommending the Art Shack to others has been very appreciated. Kristen's art is very reflective, meaningful and her love of photography is evident. The Art Shack photos on the blog are via Kristen! You will see more of her art...promise!

Julia

This photo does not give justice to the concentration, focus, and determination that Julia put into her week at the Art Shack! Starting with a watercolor painting, she quickly decided to shift gears and carve a piece of wood that she could paint for her room! It turned out great! But, the collage is what is so inspiring. Focusing on the theme of body image Julia spent a lot of time collecting images from magazines to create this mixed media piece that she plans on expanding. Her work was very thoughtful!
