Eco Art with Nikki Contini (1st-5th grades)
landfill or art material?! welcome to Eco Art
This class series focuses on reclaiming and transforming found and recyclable materials and giving them new life. So much fun! Project based class with an experiential tone. 


Trial and Error, problem solving, experimenting...Using plastics, cardboard, wood, corks, glass and other materials that may be bound for landfill or our oceans, students will work on art projects with perhaps a functional thrust.

The creative possibilities are endless! Environmental concerns are lightly discussed helping students build up their environmental awareness as they work on their projects made from 'trash'. 


All Materials provided, but occasionally students will be asked to bring in materials to add to the collection. Healthy nut free snacks provided.
