Art Camp
Youth participated in Art Camp over 3 days this week. On Monday, Art-Rageous camp was packed full of different activities for the youth to explore new techniques and different types of art media. Youth created coil and pinch pots, marbled paper, drawings/sketches, pointillism, and explored chalk and oil pastels. We finished off the day by playing Pictionary!
Picturesque painting - youth painted rocks and hid them around campus, tried pour painting, learned and applied various watercolor techniques, explored tempera paints, tried Plein Air Painting, and played some art trivia!
We have some very talented youth!
On the last day of art camp, youth explored photography. They took pictures of nature all over campus, tried some still life, and played around with trick photography. Everyone got to learn how to use a Digital SLR Camera as well as get photos printed!
Check the Facebook page for more pictures from art camp!

| Record Books
Record Books and award nominations are due to the Extension Office by Sept. 9. Electronic forms were e-mailed to leaders for you to complete and e-mail back. One form is for your nominations for project, career, and Kiwanis awards and the other form is for gold, silver, bronze, and honor. Reading of record books will be on Saturday, September 10, starting at 8:30 am in room 205/206 Admin/Extension Building UWO FDL. Each club is expected to have at least one representative. Larger clubs should have more. If the person cannot be there by 8:30 am, ask them to come as soon as possible. This person may be a parent or registered leader. An explanation of the record book review process will be done that day. Prior experience is not needed. Lunch will be provided, so it would be greatly appreciated if you would let the office know by September 6 how many people will be present from your club.
