Snow Village Created From Recycled Materials At Stone Middle School

Seventh and eighth-grade art students at Stone Middle School worked in teams of three to five to create a part of a collaborative snow village made of recycled materials and found objects. Students used chunks of Styrofoam that were donated as a base to build structures with cardboard, bottles, caps, straws, and a variety of other recycled materials along with finding objects and materials like beads, soap, sticks, branches, and pinecones.

“The concept was open-ended as far as the structures that they could create and we ended up with projects ranging from the AT&T Stadium, a lighthouse, an “Old-West” town, some farms, a mosque, and an outdoor basketball court to name a few,” said art instructor Ashley Bryan.
