Bleckley Elementary School Holds Art Day

Bleckley County Elementary School held their eighth annual art day Friday. Guests from the community came and demonstrated various arts such as drawing, painting, and woodwork.

Students also got the opportunity to do art projects with their regular teachers. BCES Art Teacher said art day was designed to expose students to things some would not normally get to experience.

To see more pictures from the day, click here.

The container was then placed on a canvas and would explode after a few seconds. The canvas used Friday is expected to be cleaned up and sold at next year's WinterFest.
