Creating art from anything is the driving force of Darzart,
a mobile Auckland based art factory that has been set up to help
teach children the importance of recycling scrap material that
would otherwise be designated as rubbish and dumped. Through recycled
art classes, children are shown how to recycle waste materials
and turn them into works of art. Each month DARZART make a donation
to Kidzfirst Hospital to enable them to continue buying art materials
for the children in the wards.
Resene is assisting the cause through a mix of mistints (which
fit perfectly with the theme of recycling materials) and testpots
to enable students to decorate their recycled materials without
sacrificing the bright and bold colours they adore. The empty
testpot containers can then be turned into future artworks of
their own.
With increasing mountains of rubbish, teaching children to recycle
through the joy of art is a positive step to reduce rubbish loads
in the future.
