My son created this video “Elements in Motion” two weeks ago with the members of his object animation video class at the Zimmerli Art Museum summer program for kids. He did the water section with a few other kids (that’s his voice saying “wheeeeee…”). His friend was part of the air group. Some girls we know did the fire section at the end, but my 12-year-old son is still at the stage where girls are ignored.
Robin’s Summer Stock Sunday is a photo meme, but I am again taking liberties with that definition and including this video, as creativity is in important part of our summer. My daughter is in theater camp for three weeks; I hope to do a post about the play (Brave Little Tailor) she was in on Friday soon.
I got on the computer tonight, and I found a note from one of my favorite European bloggers, Jientje, who granted me this:
The rules to this award are :

I picked three (new to me) blogs:
Congratulations to the awardees, and thanks again, Jientje.
Hey, anyone know what “de Ouro” means? I had to look it up.
That is SO cool! What a great project, and a great job. I’m so glad you shared it!
very creative, and camps are very much a summer tradition. my summer stock photo can be seen here
Wow, that’s impressive!
I want to go to summer school there. 🙂
Congrats on the award and since I saw your comment at Jientje’s I’ll keep still…..
Well deserved!!
Yes, between video camp, cartooning camp, and theatre camp, my kids have fun, creative summers.
I was impressed too. I wonder how long it took thel.
Congratulations for the award.
It was only a four day class. So not long, and they had to do it in little groups, too. I like the collaboration part.
That was fun to watch. Well done, them!
Great job! (My son liked it too!)
Thanks for sharing it, and have a great week.
The fire part reminded me of the old SNL “ohhhhh noooooo Mr. Billllll!” Very nicely done.
Very creative video! Good going!
Congratulations on the award!
That is pretty cool. Isn’t it amazing what the kids can do? We were just outside drinking water out of hoses and playing with no adult supervision. 😉
Very cute.
I’ve always wanted to experiment with that.
Thanks for the link!!!

Please tell you son that he did a fantastic job…
That award was well deserved Leora, and you made some very good choices to pass it on to! I knew it meant “golden” or “of gold”, but I had no idea it was Portugese. My daughter would have known though!
I mich enjoyed the video, very well made!
And here I thought it was an acquisition from one of your Portugal trips!
I’ll have to check out the new blogs you linked. I haven’t been taking the time to meet new ones recently.
absolutely brilliant!!! love the video
what a great, fun and creative video! weeeeeeeee! 🙂
That’s really clever and definitely creative!
very cute video, it’s nice to see how your kids interact with the community with these creative projects.
I’m back! Thanks so much for the award- now i have to get back into gear and post- as soon as I get through a mountain of laundry
