KM CONNECT STUDENT CREATES AMAZING REPURPOSED VERSION OF STARRY NIGHT!! Delia is such a joy, and we are incredibly thrilled with her unique artwork. She gathered her materials from found items in her Grandpa Joel and Great Grandpa Jim's workshops. She also scavenged office supplies from her mom, to achieve the beautiful blue paper clip sky. Family members and neighbors saved their can tabs, and the moon is the top of a pasta sauce jar. All of this was done independently through KM Connect's virtual academy and Mr. Langanecker's class. Great work Delia!!!
