This week, we begin our look at waste (chapter 19 in the book).
In addition to our traditional work, students are tasked with turning trash into something positive. I am not asking anyone to dig through trash or work with dangerous materials. However, consider an item's value before throwing it away. If it could be used in this project, clean it out and set it aside for use. (You might even get your kid to sort through the garage or a closet that you've been dreading cleaning.)
Here are some examples from artists:
40 Works of Art Made from Trash
7 Innovative Artists who Create Art from Trash
I look forward to seeing rough draft versions of students' trash creations on Friday.
The rules are as follows:
1. Must be small enough to bring to school
2. Must be safe (no sharp edges or rotting material)
3. Must have a clear purpose
4. Must be different than its original purpose
