During the month of March students were

hard at work creating party themed paintings

that will be used as possible Noteworthy

Card designs.

Through the completion of this project, stu-

dents once again had the opportunity to

strengthen their painting, masking, coloring,

and collage skills.

Students will be continuing these party themed

paintings next month.
