Program Description
A creative journey where old homework and art pieces with no names find new life as inspiring masterpieces. We create our own paper out of what we can find in the paper recycling bin. This is a celebration for students supporting sustainability and the process of letting old things that no longer serve us ... into our memories. By repurposing materials that once carried information, we infuse them with fresh narratives through the language of artistic expression. Students will embrace familiar and accessible classroom supplies, ensuring that every student can participate in future creative projects. Together we will rewrite the story of our discarded projects and create a vivid testament to the beauty of renewal.
