As the warm weather returns to
NJ (finally!), I'm feeling a little of the old wanderlust. Here are a
few hot air balloons from last summer's art camp at the Markeim Arts Center where
I teach ages 5-12. They make me feel like I'm ready to head for the
horizon! We used tempera paint on blue paper for the backgrounds, and
while they dried students cut balloons from templates and decorated with
oil pastels. Baskets were added and attached, and off they flew!
