Student Work


Here is one of the bottle cap pieces my students created in Portland. The students voted on this design and worked on the project collaboratively. The whole piece is divided into six smaller parts which students worked on individually. The small parts were then put together to create a whole piece.

This work was on display at Imago Art Gallery for an art walk in downtown Portland. The students attended this art show and were thrilled to see this piece and some of their other work hanging in an art gallery.

The process of putting this piece together was so fun. The students loved bringing in the bottle caps and cleaning them. They also enjoyed learning about the environment and the importance of recycling.
