For all of my Austin Global Studies classes, i was tasked to create something solely using recycled trash. I wanted to make an item that could be used in an everyday situation. I was assigned to make an item with the element aluminum. To get idea of objects made of aluminum i searched pintrest for inspiration. As i was searching I came across a hanging lamp with three bulbs. I knew this was what i wanted t o make i just needed to figure out a way to make it out of aluminum. I started with three soda cans. Then i cut the top and bottom off of them as well as puncture holes in the sides. I got light bulbs from Home Depot and strung them through the top and a bottom of the lamp. When my product was finished and plugged in light would shine through the spray painted lamp creating a galaxy effect. Lastly we auctioned off our products and the proceeds went to charity.
