Art & Craft From Waste
The Art & Craft from Waste project gets school children in Mumbai to explore and use a range of waste materials within their art-n-craft classes, by developing new and easy-to-adopt ideas and techniques. This will make children aware of the environmental problems caused by garbage and how they can be a part of the solution, by looking at waste as a cheap resource to be used meaningfully. After the project finishes, a Handbook on Art-n-Craft from Waste will be published, to ensure that the work carried out in this project can reach a wider audience of teachers and students throughout Mumbai and India .

Famous quotes containing the words art, craft and/or waste:
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“The lyf so short, the craft so longe to lerne,
Th’ assay so hard, so sharp the conquerynge,
The dredful joye, alwey that slit so yerne;
Al this mene I be love.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
“Let him read what is proper to him, and not waste his memory on a crowd of mediocrities.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
