Creating Change Through Recycled Art

Creating Change Through Recycled Art

This term, our Year 6 students have been exploring the exciting world of recyclable art. Inspired by renowned artists such as Vik Muniz, El Anatsui, Jennifer Bell, Ai Weiwei, Michelle Reader, and Karen Benjamin, students investigated how everyday discarded materials can be transformed into meaningful creations.

Using a wide range of recyclable items, students spent their art lessons designing and constructing sculptures that communicate important messages about environmental protection and the impact of pollution. Their artworks highlight both creativity and conscience, encouraging us all to rethink waste and consider how our choices affect the world around us.

“The message of my artwork is “We should treat their homes like we treat our homes”. I am glad that I can make this artwork to raise awareness about pollution and the effect it has on our wildlife. Specifically marine wildlife”
Therese, Year 5 Student
