Dec. 23—WHITESBURG — With 10,000 Post-it Notes, a Letcher Elementary School teacher created a The Muppets Christmas Carol masterpiece on the windows of the public library.
Tyler Watts, who teaches fourth grade, started making art installations in 2016 to help his then-first grade students learn math. As the kids put the 3-inch by 3-inch Post-it Notes on the floor, Watts started to think bigger.
"It was dead in the water when I picked it up," Watts said. "It wasn't big. It wasn't trending when I started."
He started with the the Statue of Liberty and then The Grinch, which was an 800 Post-it Note project, at the Harry M. Caudill Memorial Library in Whitesburg.
