For our one word project we had to pick a word out of a hat and my word is trash. I initially thought of scrap yards but after speaking to my peers I got the idea of Hoarders.. people who keep hold of everything they buy/collect in their house. Hoarder: Compulsive hoarding (or pathological collecting): a pattern of behavior that is characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress.
I then asked my peers what they hoard, or what they know other people hoard.. Here are some of them..
- Paper/Plastic Bags
- Tin Foil
- Events Tickets
- Birthday Cards
- Old School Books
- Teddy Bears
- Jewelery
- Scarvs
- Digital Photographs
- Note Pads
- Videos (VHS player)
- Books
Another thought for the word Junk is Junk food.
Looking on the internet I came across something called junk art/junk sculpture.
This has given me lots of inspiration to make a piece of art using wrappers and junk that I don't need. I also really like the idea of making jewellery out of junk...
I could make broaches, necklaces, bracelets, earring etc. I could use bottle tops, can tops, wooden pegs, key rings, sweet wrappers, buttons, scrabble pieces, lego, paper clips, cassett tapes, feathers, tape measure.
