The presentation summarizes an art project where students from Garrett County Public Schools partnered with Garrett College to create tire planters decorated with student artwork. Students brainstormed themes, voted on one, created art on rice paper related to the theme, and used a decoupage technique to attach the art to painted and primed tires. The finished planters were placed around the community to beautify areas and displayed until fall. The presentation highlights how art in schools and the community benefits Garrett County.
