-Heather you need to see this list of scrap:

"As an art teacher, I ve received the most unusual donations for our
classroom. From 20 spoon ladles to burlap feed bags, these donations
havefed the creativity of several young artists. Since the art budget
is limited as to what can be ordered, I m requesting the following
items from parents,teachers, and the community. If there is a remote
possibility we can do something with it, then please bring them to
the art room 405 anytime between 7am 4:00pm. If we can't use it,
we'll either find someone who can or we will toss it.. lovingly.
Here s a list of just some of the materials that are handy in the art
room.

Lots of weird and wacky pictures to peruse and enjoy

If you are new you might spend a few minutes (hours? days?!!) looking
over our picture albums to get a feel for what we've been creating.
Bowling balls in the garden? Garden benches made from scrap? Yep,
plus birdbaths from clay pots and satellite dishes, birdhouses from
PVC pipe, lovely gazing balls made from bowling balls, old light
fixtures, even softballs! Wonderful hypertufa creations! You will
find amazing "recycled materials" art.

Paper is simple material. It is essentially a mat held together by
the fiber's roughness, and can be made from almost any fibrous
material like wood or recycled paper.
