Project Runway: Waste Not Want Not!

On Friday, 7th grade students were given the challenge to create a runway fashion using only newspaper and tape. This project idea stemmed from the Reality TV Show Project Runway, episode Waste Not Want Not. Students had roughly 30 minutes to design a garment onto their "Model" and present it to the judge "Mrs. Shane" on the cat walk. The kids always LOVE this challenge and collaborate very well with their design team members. This is a great activity to kick off or finalize a recycling unit as it emphasizes art design elements, teamwork and of course- recycling! This was the 2nd challenge from our Recycle Challenge Week Curricula of our "Upcycle Unit". The last challenge take place Monday when students present their repurposed product. Stay tuned!
