For the month of February, the 5th graders started their pop art projects. The project consist of learning how to draw detailed textures, sharpie textures, erasing and learning creative coloring. Once the drawing is finalized, the students will begin adding their creative coloring to each section. Creative coloring is the combining of two colors.
