What Is Recycled Art?

We all have trash. Think of everything you do during the day that generates empty boxes, bottles, plastic wrap, and other things you throw away. But did you know you can use such stuff to make art?

Recycled art is creative work that's made from discarded materials that once had another purpose. This includes anything from old plastic toys and vehicle tires to scraps of cloth and building supplies. Artists who make recycled art take those materials and make them into something new. You might sometimes see it called ''junk art,'' but that term is a bit limiting. Something that is being recycled isn't necessarily junk.
