Meaningful Art from Waste
ScrapArt is a project where students are given the opportunity to create artwork from recycled materials. By using their imagination and creativity, students transform dull and used objects into beautiful and unique pieces of art.
The project promotes sustainability and awareness of recycling while also developing students’ entrepreneurial skills, such as problem-solving, innovative thinking, and the ability to see opportunities in what others might consider waste.
Examples of works of art created by students at various schools in Stockholm and Enköping.
