🖌️ **Mrs. Carnahan’s 8th Grade Artists Shine with Neon Skeletons!** 💀✨
Check out these vibrant Neon Skeletons created by Mrs. Carnahan’s talented 8th grade students! Using the grid method, they accurately rendered and enlarged their skeleton drawings, resulting in artwork that *truly glows*. 🎨
With the help of paint markers and various linear techniques, these students brought movement and character to their creations, showing off both their technical skills and creativity.
This project is a perfect example of their persistence, innovation, and growth as young artists — they took risks and experimented with new techniques to develop their own unique approach to art. We are so proud of their hard work and creativity! 👏
