Plastic Bag Art

The issue of plastic bags seems prevalent in our class and from our discussions people have been trying to figure out a way to utilize it to make art. I found this on a website that I read regularly called www.woostercollective.com. Hope it gives you guys some ideas.

Street Art At Its Best #3: Plastic Bag Animals

Every time we start to think that street art is starting to get a bit tired and boring, along - out of nowhere - comes something that reconnects us with why we fell in love with street art in the first place.

There's an artist who's been making these animals out of discarded plastic bags. He (or she) ties the bags to the ventilation grates above the subway lines so that when the subway rushes through underneath, the animal jumps up and springs to life.
