 My name is Amaranta Sandis. I am a teacher artist in Seattle. Hola, mi nombre es Amaranta Sandis, yo soy una maestra de arte aquí en la ciudad de Seattle. Today's class is going to be about sorting recycle. We're also going to be learning how to, you know, put together shapes and patterns. We're also going to learn how to put together geometric figures, how to repeat shapes, colors, etc. So what we're going to need... Some of the crackers, because I like to use the cardboard. All these different lids we're going to use. And also we're going to use bread, tags, and the bread labels. And we're also going to need these ball caps. So, go ahead. Start thinking about recycle. So now we have all of our recycle sorted out, classified. Ya tenemos todo nuestro reciclado con diferentes colores clasificados. One thing you might want to have in mind is just to play with colors, textures, shapes. So, una de las cosas para considerar el hacer cualquier ejercicio es considerar el color, el tamaño, formas geométricas, y los patrones también. So, I want to start by forming a flower. It's a springtime, and I really enjoy looking at flowers. So here is one, and then I might want to add some fun things around. Again, you could mix different materials. Ustedes pueden mezclar diferentes materiales. Pueden mezclar metal con metal, with plastic. So here is one. Empezamos con el... We'll start with green on the side. We'll start with green on the side. Maybe we'll do grande, mediano, pequeño. Large, medium, small. And maybe we'll do just a little pattern of 3. Si no tienen 4, if you don't have 4 of a kind, you can just do simply 3. And maybe have this one in the middle. Maybe we can add a little stem in here. So we're forming shapes like this. And you don't have to glue this. It's really fun just to go around and just do another form like this. How about if we have big ones? Tenemos dos aquí. Y luego tenemos otra que en medio. Otra más pequeña. And then we can use a lot of this. Ajo nada más dos o dos por aquí. And maybe we can use other two colors on the side. Let's go around. There's a lot of different places. A lot of different ways that you can play with that. You can stack. I like stacking. Que se vean como mantañitas. Look at that. Another alternative that you have to get paper to work with different materials is to use the paper from the envelopes. Otra forma que ustedes pueden encontrar papel es en los sobres. Puesto que los sobres nos llegan todos los días. One way I like to do it is just to use the inside of this texture. I really like this texture. Me gusta mucho esta textura. Lo que podemos hacer es doblarla en tres. So we can fold it into three. By folding it in three, you get to cut once and then you have three shapes. So I already trace my shape. By the way, the lids are very helpful because we can just trace it. Entonces el uso de las tapas para hacer círculos es genial y bueno, nada más tenemos que cortar una vez and then we'll get our círculos. So we have our circles right here. You can move this out of the way and we can do maybe the letter T with that. Maybe we can put the little lids on top of it and maybe we can do la letra E o maybe podemos hacer la letra O o podemos hacer una flor también. We can try to do this. Podemos también usar las, we can use the red tags to do this and we can alternate this. And here we go, we have another flower. We can also overlap. Remember, we can overlap the or stack the different lids and then you get maybe a third one. Podemos también encimar las tapas. One thing I like to do is just to work with maybe two or three colors. Algo que me gusta hacer es trabajar con dos o tres colores in the use of three materials. It's very easy to get. Start with me. My name is Amaranta Sandis. Keep creating art at home with all the things that you find around. Take care and we'll see you soon. Adios.
