Recycled Art

Blaxland art class put on their thinking caps yesterday to create a wonderful variety of sculptures and art made from recycled materials. I set up a table of bits and bobs, interesting recycled materials and electrical tape. The brief for students was to look at materials differently, think outside the square and come up with something new!
