Recycle / Upcycle Art

Eco-Friendly Art Workshops (On-site / Online) Available

Many people are pushing for more people going green; that is, recycling, combatting carbon emissions, working toward a cleaner planet, and more. Members of the art world are no different in this growing movement, and that’s why recycle art is becoming such a big hit.

Recycle art is the act of reusing or “upcycling” materials to make new art. Some typical recycled materials to use in this artistic genre include scrap metal, plastic, and other once-new items. Anything that has been used at least once before is fair game to become recycled art. You can even find discount art pieces at your local thrift shop to repurpose into recyclable art, using your own paint, talents, and creative ideas to put your stamp on it.

Organizing a workshop to focus on recycle art is the best way to take advantage of this artistic movement. Expert teachers with backgrounds in creating art from recycled materials can help you get started on your renewable art journey. Instructors will give advice on where to locate possible material for your work, including junkyards and recycling centers. They will also help inspire you with ideas on how to turn one person’s trash into your own artwork treasure. Projects can include crushed car sculptures to plastic bottle cap mosaics on canvas. Once you take a class on recycle art, possible art pieces and mediums will present themselves to you wherever you happen to look. During your recycle art class period and on, all objects will have the possibility of becoming found art.

The overall goal of art is to make viewers of it feel something, and your recycle art may make someone feel like they want to do more to save the planet.
