Bellmont Middle School eighth graders earned state-level accolades with their wildlife watercolor paintings in Wildlife Forever s Fish Art Contest and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Junior Duck Stamp Contest, according to a news release.
Their accomplishments are more impressive considering they are beginner watercolor wildlife painters who use kindergarten paint sets, the release said. It noted the students learn about conservation, specie biomes, anatomy and mixing and layering colors.
