Recycled Art Project Due Monday the 24^th.

It is possible to make art out of practically anything. Old paper, magazines, cardboard, glass, plastic bottles, shoe boxes, shoes, clothes, scraps of wood, sticks, stones, bones, aluminum cans… The list goes on and on.

You can make collages, dioramas, sculpture, furniture, jewelry, etc.

You are only limited by your creativity and the amount of effort you put into it.

Your assignment is to come up with an art project that uses primarily recycled materials.

You can choose one of the two options below.

1. If you have the materials to do the art project you should do so over spring break and bring it to class on the following Monday to present to the class (Tell the class what it is made of and how you made it).

2. If you do not have the material on hand, need additional materials or advice, or think it might be a good project to do as a class, then you can write a one page proposal to turn in when we return. The proposal should be well thought out. It should list:

• all the materials needed to do the project

• instructions on how to do the project

• an estimate on how long it will take to do the project.

The objective of this project is to have you think about recycling and do something creative over spring break. It should be fun. You should spend at least a couple of hours and put some effort into it (if you just glue two bottle caps together and call it art, your grade will reflect your effort).

If you find that you are stuck in thinking of a project, there are several web sites with examples and suggestions on how to make art from found objects and trash.

In addition to these projects, Outline 12.1 for homework. Due Monday the 24^th.
