Teach Us Your Name

Hello artists, welcome back to my virtual art room! My name is Ms. Paula Liz, what's your name? Did you know that names are an important part of who we are as individuals? Your name is likely the most important word in the world to you. Because of that, it is important that people not only know what your name is, but also how to properly say it. So today you are going to teach us your name through a unique work of art. Let’s get started!
