To start, we talked about the use of recycled materials in art and then students looked at some artists that use recycled materials to create art. We looked at artists like Louise Nevelson, who used wood she found on the street or from closed furniture factories, Gilles Cenazandotti, who assembles plastic trash he finds on the seashore, and Vik Muniz, who recreates iconic artworks from trash.
Here we are, working to collect and paint materials!
