Van Gogh Recreated in 30000 Bottle Tops at a Secondary School in Taiwan

 

Pupils at a secondary school in Taiwan have recreated Van Gogh's The Starry Night using 30,000 multi-coloured bottle tops.

It took a class of students at Xiaoming Girls school in Taichung City just 50 minutes to complete the piece, working in small groups to form panels which were then joined together

The finished product measures almost 20 sq m (215 sq ft) in size. Teacher Wu Qingchuan says he wanted the girls to learn about recycling and teamwork, noting that the exercise encouraged more introverted pupils to talk to each other to make sure all their panels matched up correctly.
