My Project

My students love to paint, and we are exploring more types of paints to grow as artists. These materials will give my students a new item to work with and fall in love with, and I am so thankful that they are AP approved. I would love to have these items in time for a Mother's Day project I have in mind where the students will paint a bouquet of flowers. I think the metallic colors will wow the students, and the mothers will love the paintings they're children have given them.
