Found: The art of recycling 
by Lisa Holzl
Walker Books


Everything you ever wanted to know about the recycle mode of art; specifically focussing on using and reusing recycling material to create masterpieces. This book is an inventive take on an old concept, with relevant and intriguing approaches to art recycling. For example, learning to paint, without paint with a focus on the great artist Pablo Picasso and his use of newspapers and other waste product. With an important timeline and introduction of art-recycling, this is a good book for children who like creating, art teachers looking for a new perspective and libraries wanting to expand their students intellectual horizons. And it’s more than meets the eye!! There are lots of ideas for stuff to do at home, using the very ‘rubbish’ around you.
