BCAL Saturdays- Creative Fun

Posted on January 21, 2012 by sheena

Diana Gonzalez is the creative genius at BCAL-Saturdays. She is known for her innovative ideas such as recycling plastic bags to create amazing totes and wallets. This week at BCAL, everyone had a blast painting owls and recycling old wooden boxes. They used their imagination and creative ideas to make something appealing to them. A memory box was created with the old wooden boxes which can be used to keep unforgettable moments and pictures. Students designed their own ceramic owls with a splash of color, taking home an original Diana Gonzalez keepsake .
