Today I want to share with you an art that I am passionate about and that has taught me the advantage that can be given to plastic, cardboard, recycling sheets, glue and most importantly the creativity that all human beings have. I hope to motivate you to start a lifestyle based on recycling all that material and elements that may be useful for those with low income and because not the wealthy. The most important of this art is the willingness to learn the techniques and the different resources that can be used to create objects that can serve us at home, at work, at the university and anywhere we work.
Currently, in Venezuela and other countries in the world, there is a high degree of contamination and emanation of chemical agents harmful to our health and the planet. Today, we have a high percentage of garbage that is not subject to a recycling system in our country for example: for every 100 KG of garbage only 70% is collected and reused, that is, we are talking about 30 thousand tons of garbage are being directed to corners, ravines or dumps that do not have a selection control of recyclable material or waste.
A family produces monthly garbage, consisting of paper, cardboard, glass, metal, plastics and sanitary control waste. The idea then is to develop techniques and learn how to properly select this type of reusable material. When we do it correctly, we are contributing to the reduction of at least 80% of the space they occupy
Below I will present some of the works that can be achieved, collecting and making the most of our creativity and recycling material.
We have an airplane made with recycling material, its elaboration was mostly with cardboard and cut paper reusable sheets; additionally, glue and some tooth-cleaningg sticks were used. Take a model and begin to cut the cardboard, once you have enough cardboard and paper begins the work of glue where it is shaping. It is a good ideal for a detail that we can give to a child.
I present a decorative vase, made only with recycling paper, very easily could be in a living room as part of the decoration. Its elaboration is a little more complex; but nothing that your creativity cannot achieve with scissors, reusable blades, and glue.
Look at this preciousness, very well made and the best thing is that everything was with recycling material. In this way, we provide a grain of sand to avoid contamination and waste of reusable material. This creation is a swan made with collected work paper; the procedure is very simple since much of the work is based on cutting the paper and stick it to a base that is used as a kind of mold to cover it completely with these pieces of paper to later paint it with tempera or ceramic paintings.
There are infinities of designs that can be achieved, reusing all the material that we can recycle. There are entrepreneurs who have taken this art as a source of work and have achieved great success since everything created is totally unpublished and drawn by hand. Everything can serve only we must learn to find a good use of plastic, glass or cardboard.
