Today our campers worked on writing with limitations. They wrote concrete poems, 6 word memoirs, haikus and more!
In the afternoon we made sculptures using recycled materials, glue and hot glue guns- see some of the characters we made in the photos below! The students also had fun putting on a turkey and peacock wedding with stuffed animals and recycled sculptures of an organ and wedding site that was all their idea including singing "here comes the bride."
Here are their pithy haikus and beautiful artwork!
I like to help out
I want to help out robots
And help elephants.
-Adel
Trees are beautiful
Men turn them into paper
I wish they wouldn’t.
-Alice
Seeds fall from flowers
Sprinkling on to the soft ground
Waiting for water.
-Athene
Something smells awesome
And also looks very good
I love flowers. Yay!
-Ella
I like the rumbling
Ducatis motorcycles
Vroom! Away they go!
-Josephine
Sparrows chirp softly
Blackbirds sing in the treetops
Music in the air.
-Julia
The mango is sweet
Mangoes are my favorite fruit
I really like mango.
-Kai Kai
Notice every leaf
Every stroke in a painting
Notice the details
-Lili
Silky soft silkworm
Spin their fiber into scarves
they’re lovely and fine.
-Megan
All bright in the sky
They flow with the moon dancing
Now it has to go.
-Mirabel
Flow softly along
Falling off a waterfall
Into a big lake.
-Naomi
