This student created an artwork called "Lotus Flower" made mostly from recycled plastic spoons to help reduce plastic waste. The artwork was created by cutting plastic spoons, gluing them in a circular pattern on an illustration board to form the shape of a lotus flower. By making art from recycled materials, the student hopes to show how garbage can be transformed into beautiful creations and promote reducing, reusing, and recycling plastic.

Week 3: Performance Task
“Lotus Flower”
My artwork is called a Lotus Flower. This artwork is made mostly
up of recycled materials. This type of artwork could help reduce the plastic waste made from plastic spoons. I believe in the advocacy of “Reuse, Reduce, Recycle” that’s why I have come up with this kind of idea. I hope that with this art piece I could show the world how we can still make beautiful arts with garbage.
1. Gather all your materials to your working space.
2. Draw a lily pad to your illustration board then cut it afterwards. 3. Cut the spoon between the curve and its handle. Leave only the curved one because that is what we need to make the flower. 4. Draw a circle on your lily pad like a size of a coin. 5. Glue the plastic spoons together following the circle using a glue stick. 6. Glue other spoons at the top of the spoons but only at the gap of the first batch of spoons you glued together. 7. Repeat this process until there is no space anymore at the center of the flower. 8. Paint your flower with your color desired and let it sit on a sunny space of your house.
