Nylah Khan on Instagram: "This year is a year of firsts for many reasons, but that’s a post for another day. Didn’t have a lot of time to paint our art portfolios for a few of my classes so we tried something new…. We designed our names on some black paper with @crayola metallic markers. I used my handy @3m double sided tape gun to secure these sheets to the @traderjoes brown paper bags that we converted into portfolios! And taaa daaaaa, portfolios are ready in one class! Ps: if you’re…
