Grade 9 Art - Day 74: "Creative Redesign"

I wanted to introduce you this term and style of art.  Quite simply, when you take any existing object and resign it for a new purpose, you have creatively redesigned it: Way to go!  I like creative redesign because it allows artists to recycle materials, appropriating their original and sometimes iconic design, shape, or form, and arriving at something new that is quite distinctly their own.

Many artists refer to their work as "upcycling".

Here are some great examples of creative redesign:

Trash People by HA Schult

Finally, let's go to this website with a couple of cool examples of Canadian Creative Redesign.
