Kindergarten Made Paper Pulp Bowls
The kindergarten used only shredded office paper to make their own bowls.

First, they blended the shredded paper.


Second, they pressed the water out of the pulp using a screen and a large bin.



Third, they pressed the pulp into plastic bowls.




After the bowls dried, we painted white school glue onto the bowls to seal them and make them stronger.



Finally, the kindergartners painted their bowls bright colors and beautiful patterns!

GEMS Art Night 2015!


On April 11th, the Georgia Elementary and Middle school celebrated the accomplishments our students have made in art class this year.  The school wide art show featured art work from all students in kindergarten through 6th grade and students from the 7th and 8th grade choice art classes.  The entire middle school gym was filled with inspiring and creative work. 



The art show ended with a community art night where students and community members shared and created art together.  We are very fortunate to have such talented artists and craftspeople in our local community!
