Reflection on Rubbish Art Post

Today at community Impact projects I  had to write a Reflection for rubbish art. We got to choose what I wanted I  all picked native birds and animals. I got to also choose what rubbish I wanted I wanted cans and water bottles.  Here are is a photo that I  want to use for birds.

Helping This Community

The project is making a dog out of cans or water bottles using bottles we have picked up and clean up the community.


The purpose of the project is to pick up rubbish and reuse it by making art.

we think we will collect at least 2 bags of rubbish each day. because we have seen lots of rubbish in this community .

What colours do you think we will see the most we think we will mostly see red cans.

What type of art would we like to create. we would like to make a dog out of cans or water bottles.

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	Crystal	no size	nothing
Sugar	no shape	tiny	nothing
Salt	no shape	tiny	nothing
