My Project

My students have been using Kwik Stix tempera paint sticks for several years. They have offer bold, vibrant colors. And they dry so quickly. This year, we used them to create still-life paintings in the Impressionist style. Their masterpieces turned out beautifully and received many compliments during our school-wide art show.

One problem, though, is that the black and red Kwik Stix seem to disappear the fastest.

I need to replace the black tempera sticks because they are used so often. I have lots of projects planned, and the Kwik Stix are the star of the show.
