Summary

In this article it introduces an artist called Joyce Curvin. She uses the junk, like the used bottles, jars and cans to create unimaginable animal figures. The material around her always brings her inspiration, and she also contributes the creations, which she made by herself. Curvin told people that using is better than wasting, and you can have many ways to deal with things before you throw them away.

Reaction

Through the reading, I learned many things from Curvin. She makes the junk recycle, and creates them into the new figure, which can be valued. As well as the field of design, there is no one who said that only expensive or new things could be used in the creative work. The materials, which are around us or at our hands, also can be valued by using wisdom, even if they are rubbish. For designers, to make use of anything that can be used is important.
