Our first ART-ECO project!
The idea of the project is to use waste materials and give a "new life" to unwanted objects through their ecological processing, inspired by visual arts and current trends such as minimal art and regional (national) cultural heritage, as well as dying crafts (ethno-design). Project participants gain knowledge and skills in the field of ART-ECO and the possibility of secondary processing of post-production waste by increasing its material value (upcycling). This process reduces waste and materials used in primary production, resulting in decreased demand and increased supply. In addition, it contributes to raising awareness of ecology and the detrimental impact of possessive, destructive human economic activity on the natural environment.
Moreover, through workshops and creative activities, participants can improve their practical skills in the field of visual arts. They also develop their imagination and sensitivity to composition, line, stain, colour, value, texture, plane, solid, and space - the essential elements of a work of art. Participants will learn the basic concepts in the field of art, including the language of creative expression and the power of means of expression. The acquired knowledge would serve as a foundation for possible further education or exploration of issues or disciplines related to the arts.
