Art camp is progressing more smoothly lately, both in behavior and in creative energy. I’ve noticed that with the growing camper roster, each child seems more comfortable trying new things and working beyond the baseline to make their artwork outstanding.

I theorize that within a larger group dynamic, the individual egos and self-consciousness of children slowly dissolve. The spotlight is shared, and thus they feel free to improvise and innovate without the stagefright.
