To celebrate Earth Day this week, I challenge you to create an original 3-Dimensional sculpture using recycled materials. There are endless possibilities for solving this art challenge, but I have provided a few idea images for you to get the creative juices flowing. You can follow the tutorial which shows you how to create a 3D building set (no glue necessary!) OR come up with your very own idea to create your recycled materials sculpture! I can't wait to see what you create!
Step 1: Take a look around your home for recycled material. From there, decide if you want to follow the tutorial to make a cardboard 3D building set OR come up with your own unique design!

I chose to create Option 1. I created my set of 3D cardboard shapes from an old Adidas shoe box and built a sculpture out of them. My cat Okie really liked the sculpture :)
