Virtual Wednesday Arty Exploration Class - At Coloring on Canvas

Through the fully illustrated directions and video link, we take students step-by-step through prepping their canvas, mixing paint colors, drawing on their canvas, and painting. Students will have a choice of painting a Llama or a Unicorn. Plus, they can choose whatever colors they would like, and add whatever details to make their paintings their own!
