All day and every day, students come in wanting to paint. Paint canvases, paint the walls, the halls, the desk. They eat and breath painting. My students are requesting to paint even more and in order to do this, they need the proper tools necessary to use to get the full results of painting Painting is very therapeutic with all the mixing of colors. How colors impact our moods, our thoughts, our understanding of life plays a big role in how they develop as greater human beings. So, painting on easels requested is important because my students need to be exposed to the proper skills and techniques that only easels can provide.
