Recycled "Treasure"

I refer to the recycled materials we use in our artmaking as "treasure". Love it when the students adopt this term also. Each week we focus on the collection of specific "treasure" and have a collection point outside the classroom. Advertised in the school newsletter could be the materials wanted for the week. Examples could be wrapping paper, buttons, meat trays, cans, small boxes, tubes, wool, material offcuts, CD's, ribbon, celophane, calendars, cotton reels, baskets, yoghurt tubs etc etc.... Materials are stored in recycled A4 photocopy paper box with a sample glued on the front for quick recognition. Easy!!!!
