Sixth Grade Artists are finishing their Neurographic lines with permanent marker, choosing a color family, and painting their spaces with watercolors from that color family. They are building hand-eye coordination skills, applying basic composition strategies, and showing control by blending watercolor in small areas. Great work!
While they may not all be wearing hats, almost all of 8D donated to the fundraiser! Thank you for your generous donations!
Kind Reminder:
BVJH/BVE will have a hat day tomorrow and all proceeds will go to the local fire departments. Please wear your goofiest hat and support a great cause in our communities. Go Storm!
