WAND ART
The Wand Art program is a creative reuse of surplus wands. Wand Art inspires youth and adults to create special pieces that serve as a message about humans’ impact on the environment.

Art can produce emotions and inspire new ways of seeing the world. Many artists use recycled materials, found objects, and other “trash” to raise awareness about how humans impact the world around them.
Art projects can do more than educate and inspire - they can also provide food, water and shelter for wildlife! Decorating a bird bath, toad abode, or planter is a great way to inspire others while providing valuable habitat to wild animals. |
Youth Projects
|
Youth groups at schools and summer camps are provided with a multitude of different types, colors, shapes of wands. There is no template for these projects - it is an opportunity to use their imagination to repurpose waste into a creative work of art.
Examples included ‘Pugsley’s Rainbow’ made at an Artist Adventure Camp at the North Carolina Arboretum. After seeing the 'Wanderful to Fly' piece pictured above, the campers were inspired to create this piece named after the classroom turtle 'Pugsley'. Both pieces are now on display at the North Carolina Arboretum. |
