My Project

During the pandemic, my students didn't get the opportunity to learn Visual Arts. They are eager to learn about the Seven Elements of Art in a fun and productive way.

The liquid watercolors, palettes, and brushes will help my students to use watercolors the correct way.

We will also spike up some of our art work using the other material that were requested to make it unique and one of a kind.

The children will also be able to create real models with the Legos and Marble Genius Marble Run while the rest of the class finishes their final product. These building materials will encourage them to use their skills to construct structures in cooperative groups to show and tell the rest of their class and invite other classes as well.
