They used a variety of materials including cardboard, paper, Playdoh, bubble wrap, plastic bottles, plastic cups, clingfilm and rope. The art needed to communicate the damage plastic can do to our environment using visual and interactive elements. The children did a wonderful job of working together to create powerful and unique pieces of art.
