Diorama Challenge - With Recyclable materials

A fun and exciting way to introduce young children to not only recycle but also to upcycle. This is a group project creating a 3-D painting using only recyclable materials to make their masterpiece. Our students used everything from cardboard to plastic bottles to create their Saigon river scene. Taking inspiration from artists Vik Muniz- Wasteland project and Ha Schult- trash People.

The students worked together in teams to cut and sculpt their shapes for the river scene. They also worked together to draw out the scene and paint it. The results were both wonderful and unique, with their own stories and ideas developing on what the river scene narrative was all about.
