The students were incredibly focused while creating their artwork, and were so proud of their finished paintings!\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to have the opportunity to create art with an author-illustrator whose work they enjoy and admire. They were so excited to learn how to paint with watercolors, as many had not used watercolor paints before.
