Hey everyone,

As many of you know, OSC offers art and activities on a daily basis. This week was no exception! I wanted to highlight two of the art projects that came up this week.

On Thursday, Ryan led a really cool activity where kids got the chance to create their very own Pokemon cards. There is a website where you can create your personalized Pokemon by answering a series of questions like what type of Pokemon, what it looks like, what it's called etc. Once you've inputted all your information, it generates a card that you print out and TA-DAH... you have your very own, very special Pokemon card. Provided below is the website Ryan used if anyone wanted to make this a take home project.

Next up was Brianna's art from Friday. They                           worked together to create 'crystal names'. Basically what they did was start with pipe-cleaners that they shaped into the letters of your name.

Next, they inserted their pipe-cleaner names into a mason jar, filled it with hot water & borax, as well as some food colouring in hopes of changing the colour of the crystals.

Once the crystals have had enough time to form, the pipe-cleaners are taken out of the solution and VOILA... your crystal name is done!

                                   
That's all for now folks,
