They did this work during our math geometry unit. The metallic markers were a big hit but they also had to balance color and design by using the acrylic markers and Sharpies. It was important to create a multimedia piece of art.\r\n\r\nMany students have asked where the supplies were purchased so they can acquire the\r\nmaterials for home use.
