During one week we had the pleasure to be giving the Art + Recycle Program to wonderful kids and all staff at Foundation Stage at the great Bangkok Patana International School.
“Watch Your Waste Project”, has an ideal to teach art and sustainability altogether by reaching some aspects of rubbish, decomposition and recycling, being able to think about our environment and how to keep it as clean as possible. Hopping also to plant a seed with our believes of having a better world to live in and being able to help the next generation.
We have made a workshop for six different classrooms at Foundation Stage with children of four and five years old. The main activity was to make a planter by taking a plastic by creating a face to it with discharged materials from the school By adding a name to the bottle, which became their friends, the students could learn how important and nice it could be to re-use materials which were meant to be thrown away. Also another activity was to let the students plant a seed or vegetables in the planter, being able to watch it grow at the school, watching and participating in a new life coming out of something that didn’t have an use anymore and it could be out there harming the world by taking at least 450 years to be decomposed at the landfill.
