Challenges
Our challenge is inspired by Barry Rosenthal, an artist who has been collecting trash for years and then transforming them into beautiful pieces of color and texture. When you’ve completed the garbage scavenger hunt, choose some pieces to make your own color-inspired garbage grid. Snap a picture and send it to us. Then put everything you’ve gathered into the proper bin.
We have so much paper at home that could be repurposed into a new piece of work: a collage or a card or your own idea. See the video below for how to make your own greeting card and then learn how to make your own envelope in this week’s activity. Send us a photo of your creation!
This time of year lots of salad greens and fruit come in plastic containers with a hinged lid. These clam shell containers are recyclable but what else could you reuse them for?
Many of us are ordering more online and receiving deliveries in cardboard boxes. What can you make with a cardboard box? Forts, spaceships, canvases for your next artwork? Share your creation with us!
One idea from a Creative ReUser in Pittsburgh, PA : make your own mask with a cardboard box, markers, tape and a pair of old sunglasses.
What can you find in your recycling bin that should not be there? Create something new with your “wishful” recycled object and share it with us.
