What a joyful last day of ES Art Camps at MHE and MST! Students explored, created, and celebrated their creativity through colorful displays, 3D creations, printmaking, and more. Thank you to our amazing art educators for making this experience so meaningful for our young artists! #RISDArtMatters #RISDDreamBIG #TXArtED @RichardsonISD @RISDVPA @IamBranum
