Upcycled Materials: Explore, Experiment, Invent


NCE Elementary After School Programs / After School Classes for Mitchell Students -
2025 Fall NCE Elementary

What happens when we think of discarded materials as art tools worthy of our attention? In this class, we will put down our pencils and paintbrushes and pick up newspapers, plastic bottles, cardboard tubes and more as we mess about in open-ended exploration. How many different ways can we use a single material? How big can we go? Can we invent something new or useful? Student artists will flex their skills in improvisation, problem-solving, and collaboration as we sculpt, print, play, and push the limits of recycled media.
