Omanut Session 3 Recap

Colorful Hamsa hand crafts with beaded decorations and written prayers hang in a row on a string against a rustic stone wall. Each Hamsa is uniquely decorated in bright colors and patterns.

Ancient Cultures:  Egyptian Cartouches, Greek vases, Roman Mosaics, Asian Fans, American Plains Indian Buffalo Hides, and Aztec Sun Designs were the projects that campers learned about and created.  These ancient forms of art influence the art we see today.

Two young girls sit at a table outdoors, painting pottery on white plates. The girl on the left is painting a black and white design; the girl on the right smiles next to her own painted piece. Brown leaves cover the ground behind them.

Judaic Crafts:  Campers explored their own Jewish identity by making hamsas, tzedakah boxes, mezzuzot, and a Shabbat kit, including candle sticks, a challah plate, and challah cover.

Collaborative Canvas:  Working together to brainstorm scenes of camp, campers illustrated and painted their ideas on canvas with acrylic paint.  These canvases will be part of a growing visual collection of Camp Ramah memories on display all summer.

Children sit at a long table under a covered outdoor area, painting colorful pictures on paper. Art supplies and water cups are scattered on the table, and trees are visible in the background.

Yetzirah: Superheroes has been our theme this session, as we discussed what qualities a superhero may possess for Tikkun Olam. Students then created their own superhero out of Popsicle sticks and other craft materials
