TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my goodness, this is such a great resource! Thank you! I put several of the “How To” drawings of infinity nets into plastic sleeves for students to use during free drawing time. I love Yayoi Kusama and we always draw her dot pumpkins so it was fun to have something different. I look forward to making the mushrooms. Thanks again for sharing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly recommend this resource, especially the “how to draw infinity nets” which I believe otherwise might have been intimidating to some students. My students LOVED this from start to finish.
