At the opening of the Orangery in our Town Park on World Environment Day, there was also an exhibition in a tent outside, of creative “recycling” art made by school children.
Creative indeed! I must admit I don't "understand" all of these, but I am sure they were all based on good ideas and the children put a lot of effort in their work.
I must admit I don't "understand" them all either, Meike! There were notes attached to some but as the tent was rather crowded I did not stop to try and read any - I just let the eye and the camera take it in! :)
One of these artworks that intrigued me from the start, and keeps on doing so the more I look at it, is the chessboard. Each piece being uniquely painted, and the traditional black and white all mixed up, it would be next to impossible to play a game and keep track of which piece belongs to which 'set', wouldn't it?... So I guess the message would be: we're all unique and there are no "sides"...
My but the students were creative. I like the chair best - a great way to use up buttons that everyone keeps stashed away. (myself included) Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
Creative recycling looks absolutely genius. I have always wondered what I could do with my bulging collection of old buttons. I was interested in reading the little bit you shared about yourself. It occurred to me the world beyond it also within and that the imagination can take us anywhere.
Vilka vackra konstverk barnen gjort!
ReplyDeleteSäkert blivande konstnärer.
Ja, och kul att de får komma med på en offentlig utställning - inte bara på den egna skolan! :)

ReplyDeleteWhat absolute fun. I love that chair! Good for the kids and for the teachers who got them interested in recycling!
ReplyDeleteThe kids had lots of fun, I can see. My favorite is that chair of buttons. It has me wanting to do something like that.
