Teams from 80 campuses took part in the Recycled Art Contest and Exhibit in Fort Worth.
Teams of elementary and middle school students from 80 campuses in the Crowley, Fort Worth, Keller, and Mansfield school districts created works of art out of materials that would otherwise be trash.
"We encourage them to find things at home and in their school. So you'll see a lot of milk containers from school cafeterias and forks," said Taylor Willis, a founder and executive director ofKids spent months working together on their projects after school. They also learn about artists, art theory, and conservation.
"The goal is to really get them looking at materials in different ways, seeing how in their own daily lives they can be reusing materials, finding beauty in things that other people might discard and find their artistic voice," Willis said. "This year's theme was Curious Creatures and Make Believe Monsters. So their instructions were to create a piece along that theme and use at least 80 percent materials that had been previously used and that they were repurposed in a new way in their project."
Each piece was judged on the amount of reused and repurposed materials, overall visual impact, interpretation of the theme, creativity, craftsmanship, and a journal to illustrate through words and pictures the creative process and show that students led the work.
