Recycled Materials

REASSIGNING MATERIALS 

HAS BECOME MY PASSION

Instilling the concept of sustainability among young prospective artists is an invaluable asset for the future. Manipulating recycled materials is a versatile opportunity for children to be creative.
A multi-age group at a community center sponsored by a university, turned into a successful art exhibit at a well visited art gallery. Younger kids, 6-10 years old worked in teams; older participants had the option to work individually.
Here are some of the results.
