What is The Art Room Turn Everyday Things into Works of Art about?

Discover how everyday objects can become extraordinary works of art. With simple instructions and plenty of imagination, children can transform buttons, bottles, feathers, pebbles, corks and other household materials into colourful creations. The twelve projects include a button snowman, geometric fish, painted flower, portrait plate and a puppet show inspired by The Owl and the Pussycat. Along the way, young artists learn to reuse unwanted items, experiment with different materials and develop their own creative ideas.
