Mixed media art class. Students will explore various mediums from acrylic paint to India ink and pastels, and they will be challenged to use nontraditional materials.

Instead of a paintbrush, students will create their masterpieces using toilet paper tubes, bottle caps, twigs, combs and other tools!

Students are encouraged to wear only their messiest art clothes, because we're going to have a blast!

 These activities are made possible by federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
