My life skills support class had a wonderful time reviewing scale and placement, as well as layered colors and foreground / background while drawing colorful birds and painting the sky blue.

Illuminations Completed

Many students took this opportunity to showcase their own writing, and some selected work from lyrics or poems they felt were relevant or related to. It was challenging to learn the craft of calligraphy, but well worth the beautiful finished products.
