The Purpose of the Project
It is increasingly evident that we are becoming surrounded by plastic. This material, made for such a short existence, can last for hundreds of years. This realization has prompted my research in regards to art education, ecology, and plastics. The chosen research method is action research. The participants for this research are my art club students who voluntarily meet weekly. The art club participants studied contemporary artists who use plastic as a medium to create artwork and also use the artwork to educate others about plastic and the effects made to the environment. The purpose of this research is for art club participants to collect and create artwork from plastic gathered on our school campus, show their work in an effort to raise ecological awareness personally and in our school community.
Through this site I will share our journey with understanding our lives with plastic. I will share our experiences, our artwork and future endeavors.
