Year 9 Transformations Exhibition

The year 9 recycling exhibition ‘transformations 2010’ is open to the public now at the Peacock Gallery at Maiden Erlegh School.          

    Our Exhibition is based on creating a piece of art out of recyclable materials. We could use any recyclable materials that we wanted; some of these were cardboard, CDs, tin cans, ties and so much more.

     When we were first told our task our heads were racing with imaginative ideas, but like any artist we settled on creating the idea that was the most stunning and exciting.

    In the end we had all sorts of interesting art work that could be displayed, ranging from mermaids made of CDs to dresses made of crisp packets and ties.

      I think that because everyone is so worried about Global Warming the idea of art students recycling materials to make a new product is very comforting, knowing that we are all doing our bit for the world. Not only do we gain new skills making the projects but we learn about how important recycling is.
