8th Grade Project 3: "Adventure" theme using painting center

Our Eighth Graders explored the theme "Adventure" through various types of painting. They were given the option to explore water color pencils, acrylic, oil, watercolor, and spray paint. As with every project, students are required to use their sketchbook for planning, researching artists online and in print, and practicing to develop their craft.
