Scrap Faces

To connect with the Science, the Primaries are learning about how artists can use recycled and cast off materials to make art.  We are watching a video about an artist who goes to the scrap and junkyard to find art materials.  We are making our own mask made out of scraps:  bottle caps, wood pieces, plastic parts.  Reading Rainbow Stay Away From the Junkyard 

hilarious!  We used these donated medicine lids.

    These are great! Love the medicine lids. I too get random stuff donated sometimes! I once got two huge boxes each full of 200 or so purple disposable medical scrubs. When the kids wore them, my room looked like a Barney episode gone wrong!

    Natalie, I'd love to see a picture of the purple clothed kids. 🙂

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
