Displayed! Trashy art.

What would you expect to see displayed at international airports?  At the San Francisco International Airport Terminal 3 they are showcasing trash.  Before you huff and puff off the notion of visiting such an exhibition, look at what Recology Artist in residence have done with them.

Boredom? Doodle that out!

If you are a parent trying to save some bucks, start collecting scrap papers and colouring pencils now for your children and learn to doodle their way out of boredom during the coming long school holiday.

First you will have to pick up some skills from Oistein Kristiansen either on his TV programme, "Cows and Crayons" or on his YouTube Channel, Oistein's Art.

Who is Oistein Kristiansen and what is this about? This video will give you an idea what he is into.



So, what are you waiting for? Learn how to doodle. Once you have your children interested in this creativity, you will not have to enroll them in workshops or take them out to entertainment centres or buy them toys to occupy them during school holidays.

Home destroyed? Create art.

She created collage work out of them as a reminder to all about the disaster and became known in the process. Her lovely creations are for sales and you can see them on her blog, The Katrina Collection.

What would you do if you were in her shoes?

That old tree's dead. Now what?
