The Ocean Bank Center collects surplus inventory and supplies from the business community and makes them available for free to Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ teachers for their students. The creative process begins with recycled materials – everything from tools to milk jugs, scrap metal, cardboard tubes, tin foil, acetate, Styrofoam, music CDs and even thread from water hoses. Equipped with these recycled materials, or “found objects,” students and teachers use their creativity to convert them into works of art such as paintings, drawings, traditional sculptures, mixed-media and 3D pieces, many of which are available for purchase today!
