PART FOUR: Mistake to Art, Newspaper Flower Painting


PART FOUR:

Now that there is a marking on an object, can we turn it into further art? Or is it put to waste? Here, I took the ring left from the jar and transformed it into a flower to represent the flowers on the jar. This has become a project with emphasizing reducing, reusing, and recycling.

OBJECT #1: Flowers on mason jar  I use mason jars for everything, from food storage, to vases, to glasses for my coffee.

After she didn't need the list anymore, she would tear off the paper and write down something new. So, in this project, I wanted to do something similar by displaying her recipes on butcher paper as an art piece.
