Hey everyone! Well, I finally found some time to tell y’all about my week. Hehe, this might actually be a decent sized post…but I doubt it ^_^;; Okay, I suppose we start on Sunday. After church we droze to the University. I checked in, found my room, met all my roomates and sat around for a couple hours. As I was walking out of my room and noticed that I recognized the girl in front of me, then I screamed! Lindsey was standing in front of me. She was a friend I had met last year at camp and hadn’t seen since! I was shocked to see her, but so happy ^_^ We hung out together for the rest of the week. That night we went to the art department and chose what classes we were going to take. That’s how art camp works. You choose four classes you want to take and then you go to them everyday. You chose one for first hour, second hour and so on. For my first hour I took Aquatint. Aquatint is a type of printing. You get a plate of Zinc, rub some stuff (I can’t remember what it was called...) on the plate, put paper on top and draw whatever you want on the paper. Then when you take the paper off you put the plate into acid. Wait a couple minutes. Then take the plate out. The acid eats away what you drew so that when you put ink on the plate and run it threw the press the picture comes out exactly how it looked when you drew it on the paper, except cooler ^_^ Did that make sense...
My second class was Inkle weaving. I know, you’re all probably thinking, In-ka-what? Ikle weaving is just a fancy way of saying you run yarn or thread through a loom and make a belt. Oh goodness, Inkle weaving is so much fun! It’s super relaxing too, your hand start moving mechanically and you don’t even have to think about what you’re doing, oh so nice!
My third class was drawing. That’s not to hard to explain we just drew a still life.
And lastly, I took Photography. It was a fun class, but I don’t think photos like me very well, I just couldn’t get anything to work right ^_^;;
On Thursday, everyone in camp (including the teachers) goes to a park called Jones Gap.
It’s so nice, and the scenery is gorgeous! It’s located in a valley. We go there every year, and it’s become a tradition. We have supper, then spend a little over an hour drawing something. I drew a big rock ^_^ After that we go inside a nearby cabin and listen as our teachers play Bluegrass. It’s so much fun!!!
So that’s what I did Monday-Thursday. On Friday everyone hangs their artwork they did on the walls in the art building hallway, and they have a huge exhibition! For every class they give a first, second and third place ribbon. In Aquatint I got second place (Lindsey got first so I was happy ^_^) I got first in Inkle weaving. In drawing class I got second (which I thought was pretty good considering almost everyone at camp took the class!)In photography...I didn’t place, I told you it didn’t like me ^_^;; And they also gave ribbons for the Jones Gap drawings, and guess what I got second place out of about 40 other drawings! I was very pleased ^_^
So that was my week! Woah, that post was long! Sorry if it was boring in any way ^_^;;Hope you guys are having a fantatsic day! laters...
