We often think of reusing (再使用) as a way to help save money or protect the environment. Any object can be reused to make something amazing. Reusing is also a way to help us think about things in new and different ways.
Using found objects to create art is not new. Found art became popular in the 1900s. Many things could be made into art!
Today many artists still create art from things they find. Sometimes they use things as they find them, and other times they make changes to the things they find. The rubbish from our homes has plenty of metal, plastic, rubber and cardboard (橡胶和硬纸板). Artists might also use old toys, old newspapers and so on. Dan Rawlings, a British artist, makes sculptures (雕塑品) from old metal tools. The South Korean artist Yong Ho Ji makes sculptures from old rubber tires (轮胎). Brian Marshall, an American artist, makes sculptures of robots using objects he finds.
