There were lots of happy little trees at one Texas middle school this week.
Art students at Madison Middle School in Abilene donned their curliest wigs and painted little trees onto canvases to pay homage to the late painter Bob Ross. Teacher Brady Sloane tells the Abilene Reporter News that the idea came about because she wanted to reward Advanced Placement students who had been stressed out over recent projects and grades.
The result was a flash mob Thursday of about four dozen students who wore wigs, blue button-down shirts and held palettes of paint. An episode of Rosssa国际传媒� television show, sa国际传媒淭he Joy of Painting,sa国际传媒� was projected onto a large screen.
Ross gained a following for his soothing tone and soft-spoken voice. He died in 1995.
