Charlie's Artists

It's Art Camp Week at the old Dallas Academy, and campers get to create

 3-D works under the direction of famous folk artist Charlie Lucas.

 Using a variety of  trash and trinkets that vary from sections of garden hose, 

old wooden forks, beads, keys and wire, these young artists got out

 the glue guns and went to work. Campers rotated among art stations 

and also made jump ropes, painted ceramics, decorated old cigar boxes

 and had pictures made in costumes on Monday.
