Visual artist and motivational speaker Gary Gee visits BMS

Batesville Middle School Sixth, Seventh Grade Art Rotation and 6th , 7th students spent about

25min each with Gary Gee. Gary is a professional fine artist. He spoke a bit about his own work

and studio but mostly interacted with the kids in a very relaxed and positive way. The students

drew random lines on a paper then like looking for shapes in the clouds they created designs on

their paper inspired by these lines. The students enjoyed the relaxed tone in creating just for the

sake of creating.
