TEACHERS,
help us encourage ENO students to create and set their own trends!
This project highlights how creativity can reduce waste while
bringing fun. Let’s find joy in creating. Let’s enjoy learning
traditional handiworks like knitting and embroidering. Let’s
have fun doing something with our hands. Let’s ALL upcycle!
CREATE
A STOOL
The
challenge is to create a practical small chair that can be used
in your home or maybe in your classroom, school library, or
a students’ corner in your school. It must be a real and functional
piece of furniture.
MATERIALS:
*
The stool must be constructed from old used materials.
* There is no limitation on types of materials, but the final
product must contain one element connected to your cultural
heritage (see below).
* Any materials needed for the stool’s construction (such as
glue, string, nails, screws, or other similar materials) are
allowed.
YOUR
CULTURAL HERITAGE CAN BE SHOWN
in
the material used to create the stool: wood, stone, wool, rattan,
fabric, rugs …, or
in the objects that you incorporate in your stool, giving them
a new function (instruments, furniture, pillows, beehives, umbrellas,
clothes, dishes … it can be anything!), or
in the technique used for decorating your item (sewing, painting,
knitting, embroidering …), or
in traditional patterns
In addition to using materials that represent your cultural
heritage, you should use materials which you have in abundance.
This can be practically anything you find in the waste: old
newspapers, old books, pieces of wood, plastic bags, plastic
bottles, etc. But don’t forget to add also an element from your
cultural heritage.
IMPORTANT!
Learn
to find the beauty within the material itself. Don’t transform
the material into something that it is not. There is no need
to make plastic look like marble and plaster look like gold.
It is not! Find the beauty in the imperfection of the driftwood
or a broken cup. When we learn how to love the imperfection
of things, this will be the first step towards accepting and
loving our own so-called imperfections.
The
possibility of using anything doesn’t mean you have to use everything!
Choose wisely.
You
have the opportunity to present your cultural heritage. We would
really like to learn from you!
RULES
Note:
You should not send the object itself, but a detailed description
and photos of the stool being used.
Dimensions:
The stool is usually not bigger than 30cm x 30cm x 30 cm, but
this is flexible and your stool might be different in shape
and size. Adjust it to your height and your way of sitting.
It must work for you.
Create
three photos of your stool from different angles with somebody
using it. Create the best interior and atmosphere that suites
your stool!
Each
submission with a maximum of three photos must be clearly identified.
Data should be readable in English
