Items 250-258 are a special treat. These are a group project from Ms. Wilborn’s 2nd Grade Class at Rogue River Elementary. We are so happy they created art for our auction.
Each color represents a student and their additions to the piece. Students used their knowledge of color mixing to create their own unique color. They considered their knowledge of patterns, shapes, and lines to work together and create these pieces of community art.
