Tri-Art Art Noise Academic Acrylics
Tri-Art Art Noise Academic Acrylics

After 12 years of making artist-quality acrylic paint, Tri-Art has introduced Art Noise, an academic-grade acrylic paint designed for multi-purpose use in the classroom. Made with 100% acrylic emulsion, Art Noise non-toxic permanent colors are made from the same materials as Tri-Art’s artist-quality acrylic paint. Art Noise acrylic paints dry to a durable, flexible satin finish that won’t flake or become chalky. They have a rich, velvety texture that flows like lotion, and they clean up quickly with soap and water. Art Noise is available in 20 vibrant colors, including Glow-in-the-Dark and assorted Fluorescents. Ideal for teaching color theory, these colors contain no fillers, so colors can be mixed with no muddiness, resulting in colors as spectacular as the original colors. They can also be mixed with acrylic mediums to create countless textures and finishes. As smart as Art Noise is in the classroom, it also performs brilliantly on the stage and screen. As easy to roll as it is to brush, Art Noise is the perfect choice for large-format productions, bringing sets, murals, and posters to life.
