Going Green in The Art Room

Summer is here and we are going greener than ever! We are stepping up our efforts to increase our use of found and reclaimed objects, paper scraps, and recycled materials to create our art. Classes have been challenged to create sculptures out of these and other materials that would have been headed for landfills and recycling plants. Artists have always been concerned with conservation and the environment and have looked for ways to use readily found materials to create art as well as to send messages about how to protect our planet for future generations. Look for our “green” creations and our tips for conserving and creating “green” art!
