Extra Blog - Canstruction.




I visited the World Trade Center a couple of weeks ago, before Thanksgiving. My godmother told me about an event called Canstruction, that takes place at her job every year. It was exactly as it sounded; A bunch of exhibits made entirely out of recycled cans. The exhibits were nicely done, and they had a point to them. They were bringing attention to the suffering of the 9/11 victims and letting the people know that they could still use our support. The exhibits I saw were a replica of the infamous art piece "The Ponderer" or "The Thinking Man", the upper body of an astronaut, a "water" fountain that relied solely on different can colors to depict the water, and a couple of other ones. It was nice to see creativity and to see what people could come up with. Art could be made out of virtually anything.
