I have been collecting, sorting and saving colored plastic bottle caps for years now. The time has come to create a mural with them. I painted a design that encompassed all of our learning here at Sopris. The 5th grade students used an adhesive, in caulking tools, to attach the lids onto the board. It was a fun process. Students needed little help from me once they got going. It was hard to decipher the picture up close as we worked, but at a distance, the final piece comes together visually.
First 5th grade students helped prime the board.

Next I drew and painted the painted artwork onto the primed board.
The fun job of gluing begins!
Early stages with a few caps on.
More gluing! Fun!

Finished!
