We’re excited to be back in the swing of reuse as we get our partnering campuses set up to put recycling into action. Reusing campus materials for artistic outlets fosters creative exploration.
It is so exciting to see what kids create with just a few basic items like cardboard, paper and some tape. We know that exercising their creative muscles helps kids develop their thoughts and ideas through trouble shooting, problem solving and critical thinking.
We found a piece that says just what we know about the importance of creative opportunities in art. The Head of Art at Walden School in the UK, Serena O’Connor , brings this core value home in her article. “Art is the only way to run away without leaving home”.
We’re on the right track to connecting kids to their big ideas with the simple materials already around them on campuses, prime for imagining and creating. Stay tuned. There is more to come.
