The Starry Night

CMS Art Workshop is a monthly class available to Carrollton Middle School students interested in extra art instruction. Instead of having art club where the same students come all year, CMS art teacher Amy Autrey selects a theme each month to appeal to different groups of students.The project assigned for March was a Paint-A-Long workshop featuring a creative interpretation of Vincent van Gogh's famous work, "The Starry Night." Mrs. Autrey said students listened to music and painted each section as a group until they finished their own unique work of art. Here they are, showcasing their creations.
