Our Painting Class
You know now that each of your children created a wonderful painting for you:) I had hired an artist to come in to do a canvas painting with each student. She was so great and was able to teach the students the basics behind painting with a paintbrush(when to use a small, medium, and large brush) and how to paint to enhance their work. The students also learned how important following directions were during this whole activity. This is a great memory for you to have!
