Non Traditional Art Materials

This article discussed the use of non-traditional materials to make art projects. It posed the idea that buying from art supply stores is not as creative as picking out more unique items. In a way, I can see how using your imagination to utilize various things could produce more thoughtful and wild projects, but I also understand that you can be creative using paint and pencils as well. It's all a matter of how much thought you put into something and how you use whatever medium you decide on.  It is a good idea to experiment with different materials to switch it up and add pizzazz.

Here are some fun examples...
