One of our summer camp themes this year is called Road Trip USA. We're going to take the kids on an imaginary road trip across the states from one end to the other...and these images completely captured the feeling I want the students to experience on our journey.A good old fashioned Smokey the Bear type of trip...with road side diners, vintage gas pumps, and souvenir shops...at least for part of it anyway.
So I was absolutely thrilled when I came across artist Steve Lowtwait's website Camp Steve! His artwork has that 'Mayberry' feel to it and gave me so much inspiration I could hardly stand it. Don't they bring back fond, idealistic memories of what a family road trip would have been like? Let's hope I can impart a little bit of this freshly made nostalgia into our students, I'd love for them to experience all of the freedom and fun the road trips of yesteryear had to offer, and who knows...maybe when they grow up, that will be the kind of vacation their hearts will desire, I know mine does.Side Note- We're also going to be incorporating Van Gogh/Leone Ardo & George Rodrigue into this road trip...I wonder how they felt about car games and souvenir shops?!
