Recycled Paper Mache - Ian McClendon

Posted by Ian McClendon in Advanced Art - Hull on

I am a Junior at Science Leadership Academy and I was given a project to create some form of art using recycled elements. I decided that since our school uses computers every day and when we have to print papers, we make mistakes. We print to many, forgot to add parts, etc. Then what happens to all of these mistakes of paper? My idea for a art project was to collect all these mistakes and turn them into art. To even start off on a good foot I used a plastic bottle for a mold. So forth I paper mached this bottle into a creation with the mistakes. I was inspired to make a figure that I feel some what of exoticism. My main character is a alien kind of creature. I tried to represent him in a recycled form. His brother you might say. What I've learned from this project is to take consideration for what is around us and how that anything that might look just plain trash on the sidewalk can be created into some so much more beautiful and gain more of a importance.
