Bottle Cap Mural

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!
