SUMMARY OF LAST WEEK'S CAMP
This is how the primary school students spent their creative week

This year's second camp was aimed at primary school children, but the team was joined by some very determined and talented pre-school age artists.

Plants, animals, people and landscape - every day there was a theme from István Szőnyi's favourite themes.

We took seriously the master's teaching that "Without observation of nature, to the exclusion of original experience, no honest, true effect can be achieved."

Monday In the morning we had a good look at the beautiful flowers in the museum garden,

Tuesday our animal models: Emil, the dog; Master Szecska, the rat; Donatello, the turtle; and Sas and Kenderes, the chickens. (Thanks to the Dudás family and the Gálócsy family.)

Wednesday under the shady trees of the Danube bank, each one captured the Danube detail he liked,

Thursday and comparing the youngest and the oldest camper, (among whom 8 years and a difference of about 60 cm), we could observe how the proportions of a person's body parts change. "I wonder what we will look like as adults?" the children wondered.

Inspired by the morning's artwork, each afternoon we used a different technique to explore the theme of the day. We created watercolours of flowers and animals, needle-punched landscapes and life portraits, and sculptures of different movements in wire and aluminium foil.

A Friday the giant swing and zip line in the trees of the Szőnyi Garden was born from a mid-week donation and we were very grateful. Thank you again to Nándor Szederkényi and his son Marcell for the occasional adventure park!

As a final task, we organised an exhibition of the most beautiful creations made during the week, so that parents and friends could admire the finished works together.

This is how the upper school students spent their creative week

The theme of the camp was related to the current temporary exhibition of our museum, entitled: Home, sweet home. The inspiration for the various tasks came from the house and furniture of István Szőnyi's family, and from the gardens and homes of some of the participants.

We explored the theme using a variety of techniques, using pencil, ink, watercolour, wool for watercolour and needlepoint, and anything we could reuse in the making of the model: bent shelves, scrap cardboard, wire, textiles, etc.

As in previous years, the camp closed with an exhibition of the work produced during the week.
