Scrap Faces

By | | , ,

To connect with the Science, the Primaries are learning about how artists can use recycled and cast off materials to make art.  We are watching a video about an artist who goes to the scrap and junkyard to find art materials.  We are making our own mask made out of scraps:  bottle caps, wood pieces, plastic parts.  Reading Rainbow Stay Away From the Junkyard 

Introducing Scrap Faces: A face made of various craft materials on a stick, including beads, buttons, and paper, against a black background.

A smiley face made from various objects including lids for eyes, a button nose, and string for a mouth, on a white background. This creative arrangement resembles the playful style of Scrap Faces.

Scrap Faces created with different objects: can lids for eyes, bottle caps for ears, a cork for the nose, and a pipe cleaner for the mouth.

hilarious!  We used these donated medicine lids.

Assembly of everyday objects resembling a face, using 100% juice bottle caps as eyes and wooden pieces as eyebrows, is part of the creative series called Scrap Faces.

A face made of craft materials with button eyes, wooden shapes for eyebrows and hair, and a red pipe cleaner mouth. This whimsical creation is one of many Scrap Faces.

    These are great! Love the medicine lids. I too get random stuff donated sometimes! I once got two huge boxes each full of 200 or so purple disposable medical scrubs. When the kids wore them, my room looked like a Barney episode gone wrong!
