Green Tree Art Club Completes Bottlecap Masterpiece

Members of the Art Club have completed a masterpiece made of hundreds of bottlecaps. Their project, a 7 foot by 8 foot mural of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, was constructed with bottle caps of every shape and size - from toothpaste caps to laundry detergent caps.  

The entire school assisted with collection of the bottle caps over the fall semester and the fourth and fifth grade girls worked before school and during their free time with advisor and Art Teacher Pam Winter to complete the mural.

Winter said she enjoys reviewing other art teachers’ blogs and was inspired to try the project with her Art Club after seeing a similar mural online.

"The girls worked so hard to complete this," said Winter. "They are an amazing group of young artists."

Winter added that although the exact location has yet to be determined, the mural will have a permanent home on display in their building for all to enjoy.
