I Create One Art Piece A Day During Quarantine Using Recycled Materials (14 Pics)
Never let a serious crisis go to waste, they say, so I’m using this time to create a new series, Covid Blues (Art for the Quarantined Soul). Inspired by Picasso during his Blue Period, the 14-day visual diary uses repurposed materials found around the house, created in monochromatic shades of blue.
If you are interested, you can find my previous posts here, here, and here on Bored Panda.

These are so amazing! I am in high school and I'm taking a fashion class that my school offers. We have been doing a project from home (since school closed) about Covid-19. How it impacts our lives and the world around us, and we had to make a garment from recycled materials. I am making a jacket from Covid-19 newspaper articles and random wrappers that describe life with a pandemic(I am using a Clorox wipe labels and a toilet paper logo, etc.). Like I said, your work is amazing! Thank you for some more inspiration for my project! It has been super hard and it is great to know that if I work at it, I could eventually be that good! I also love the incorporation of watercolor in your works as well!
