St. Anthony students bring zoo animals home … sort of
GREENVILLE—St. Anthony of Padua School received a grant from The Metropolitan Arts Council recently that helped provide an “art-tastic” trip to the Greenville Zoo for the fifth- and sixth-graders. Outfitted with sketchbooks provided by the grant, the children practiced a technique called “en plein air” or in the open air, and sketched the animals they saw.
