My Recycled art piece is a bookmark with spatter paint on top to give it a creative design to it. To create this set of bookmarks, I got a cereal box, and started to cut strips of the cardboard that I would then use to make the bookmarks. when I first started, I automatically started painting them with acrylic paint. Little did I know that I had to mod podge paper onto the cardboard first so that it would have a sturdier feeling to it. Doing this, it felt like the bookmark could take on more and more beats, making it last longer and stop from bending easily. After the mod podge was allied with the recycled paper I was very happy with the sturdiness of the bookmarks. Then, I moved onto the step of painting the bookmarks with acrylic paint. After painting each one different colors, I thought I had finished, but then I later decided I should spatter paint white paint on top of the bookmarks to make them more creative. I got this idea to spatter paint based on the paintings of Jackson Pollock. After doing this, I put a final layer of mod podge, to create a protective layer, so it can get wet, and scratched without getting messed up. I achieved my goal of making a creative bookmark that is different than other bookmarks that i have seen before. Overall, I am very happy about how my bookmarks. came out.
