5th Grade Magic Trash Sculptures 
5th Grade Magic Trash Sculptures
The students learned about the artist Tyree Guyton who was famous for his Heildelburg project in Detroit City. He added color and form to a run down neighborhood to bring it to life! Once his style was viewed, the students worked as teams and glued together recycled trash pieces to create a nonobjective sculpture. The sculpture was then decorated with paint and other decorative materials making the everyday trash pieces come alive with excitement.
