Presentation Transcript

  1. ‘Recycled ART!’ Club/Program Name: 3D Art Classes, LWHS Contact Person: Jennifer Love Gironda, Teacher

  2. Recycled ART!

  3. Purpose of Project(s): In an effort to teach my students about recycling and alternative art media I want to make some large-scale art projects that show my students (and the whole school!) that we can turn trash into treasure. The projects that I would like to my classes create are a bottle cap mosaic and a Chihuly-inspired recycled bottle project.

  4. Project 1-Bottle Cap Mural Description: Students will attach bottle caps and lids of various sizes to fill in a large mural attached to a discarded table top. The piece will be displayed here at Lake Worth High School.

  5. Bottle Cap Mural Examples

  6. Chihuly-Inspired Sculptures

  7. Project 2-Chihuly-Inspired Bottle Sculpture Description: Students will learn about glass artist, Dale Chihuly. Next the students will use heat guns to melt and distort the bottles. These pieces will then be painted and assembled into hanging sculptures to be displayed in various locations around campus.
