They were very excited when the materials came in and they were able to make an acrylic painting of a rainbow on a canvas. \r\n\r\nThe last group was the TK/K group and they just love art. We did an art project with focuses on warm and cool colors. Students will be doing a final project with acrylic paint and a canvas next week.
