PICTURES



DISCOVERY ART - HABERMAN

Ms. Haberman had her students working on a multi-step art project. The first step required using coloring pencils to carefully shade strips of paper. These strips were to be cut up after the shading process and then woven together. The woven unit was then pasted onto a colored background as a frame for the artwork. 1-14-2021.  Link to 16 Pictures.
