The definition of extravagant is: lacking restraint...

We were inspired by the bright clear colors of our new paint markers. Our individual paintings were so colorful everyone wanted to make one.

We decided to create a mural over the course of a week. The paper was left on the easel and each child was encouraged to add something every day.  

The markers looked a bit monotonous at one point so we added oil pastels for a different weight line and texture.

Finally, painted paper shapes were glued on top of everything. 

The result was a rich tapestry of texture and color! I think cooperative art builds esprit de corps. Cooperation produced such a vibrant piece!
