Every Visual Arts class at Lincoln Road is working on the theme of Sustainability this term. This month the classes went to see where the materials come from.
On Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th August, all art students from North West College took a trip to Tipping Point.
We saw the amount of rubbish that people drop off and donate that can be recycled and upcycled.
Huge thank you to Moana, Indie, Martin and Grace who took time out of their day to give us a tour of Tipping Point and explain how rubbish and donations were sorted into a variety of big bins.
We give thanks for the opportunity of being able to sort through plastics and choose at least 3 to 5 items we could incorporate into our 3D sculptures.
Big thank you also to Glen Blackwell from the Ministry of Primary Industries for donating a fishing net.
Rowena Rooney, Visual Arts
