My Project

I would like to do a fun and creative project with the 4th and 5th graders during the next school year. This would allow them to paint on canvas and use their creativity. They will also be able to take their creations home.

Students love to paint and this project lets them create something abstract or something they come up with on their own.

The paint I ordered is very needed in my art room as well and will allow students to use many different colors when creating their amazing artwork!
