Art Box – Bring Art to your classroom by borrowing a FREE Art Box!
Art boxes bring students face to face with the magic of exploring real art works on the exciting topic of Outdoor Landscape Painting. Students learn the history of this art movement and observe light, color and perspective. The Art Box features art lesson plans with six original art works by local artists, and the art supplies to bring art into your classroom!
