Young artists, it's your turn to capture the magic of fall! This year's theme is the "Colors of Autumn," a chance to show us what you see, feel, and imagine when you look at the vibrant landscape of the season.
Will you paint a pumpkin patch bursting with orange, a tree with leaves of every color, or a cozy scene in warm tones? Use any medium you like—crayons, paint, markers, or even mixed media—to create a work of art that expresses the beautiful colors of fall.
