Upcycled Art allows students to explore creativity while learning about the impact humans have on the Earth’s environment. Through hands-on, project-based learning, students will give new life to recyclable, old, forgotten, and broken materials by transforming them into original and functional works of art.
Students will experiment with a variety of materials and construction techniques while developing an understanding of design, form, and problem-solving. The course emphasizes sustainability, responsible material use, and creative thinking as students explore how art can promote environmental awareness. Reflection and critique are incorporated to help students articulate artistic choices and evaluate their work.
By the end of the course, students will have created multiple upcycled artworks that demonstrate creativity, craftsmanship, and an understanding of environmental responsibility.
