A simple piece of paper can become a painting, a drawing, a collage, or an entirely new creation. Paint allows students to experiment with color mixing and brush techniques, while markers and Sharpies allow them to add bold lines, details, patterns, and designs to their artwork.\r\n\r\nThese supplies are being used across all grade levels, from kindergarten students learning the basic elements of art to older students developing more detailed and creative artwork. Students are learning that artists use different materials for different purposes and that there is no single way to create art.
