Modern Age and Modern Hobbies – Start Collecting Your Favorite Scrape Metal Art Pieces

Metal Sculptures – What are metal sculptures? Em… Well! Metal sculptures are nothing but lined drawings in 3 dimensional forms. Metal sculptures can be many things. They can be dynamic; they can move and they can interact. They can whatever your imagination wants them to be. They can be Church buildings and they can also be Christmas trees. They can be trains and planes and, they can also be passengers. They can be anything and they can be everything.

Am I Scrap Metal Artist?

Have you seen any potters doing clayware? They make things out of clay. And what they can make from clay? Everything that can be imagined. How do they do it? Wet clay is used to form the desired object and then this wet object is put into any furnace until it hardens and strengthens.

Scrap metal artists also do the same. How? They too make things. The only difference is that scrap metal artists, as the name implies, use metals for making objects of their interest. They use these deserted and dejected shapes to form a fresh shape—known as scrap metal art. Nuts, bolts, screws, washers, keys, sprockets, chains, gears etc. are common elements of any art from scrap. These pieces are blended and welded together in such uniformity that ‘WOW’ becomes irresistible. You might have realized that you too have heaps of scrap metal around you such as broken watches, engine spare parts, outdated motherboards and hard disks etc. Well, don’t throw them away. Use them for recycled art. What you need is just little creativity and some tools.

Sci-fi Movie Monsters:

Though scrap metal art allows you to make whatever you imaginations want yet most of the inspiration comes through sci-fi movies. Sci-fi movies are biggest source of inspiration for scrap metal artists as these movies provide with plenty of metallic characters. And more interestingly, these characters carry so much details with them that one wonders whether they are metals or real alive characters. Sci-fi art is all about making these characters through scrap metals.

Let’s have a look at Terminator Statue. Its 7.5 feet tall sculpture with 5 main parts namely head, torso, 2 arms and legs. All pieces are can easily be joined with one another allowing you to move it from one place to the other without needing any tools. Though it’s merely a sculpture yet it inspires the same awe and fear as in movies.

Likewise, Star wars Art is quite celebrated among scrap metal artists. These artists aren’t letting epic star wars fade from memories. Characters from Darth Vader to R2D2 and C3PO are still alive through this art. The best thing about these star wars characters is that they are not as huge as they were in movie. They are smaller, they are beautiful and they are interactive. By seeing these sculptures you will realize that turning your drawing room into one of star war’s galaxies won’t be a bad idea at all.

Recycled art and you:

Art stays one step ahead of its contemporary sciences. Just as people have habit of collecting stamps, collecting books, collecting stones, increasing number of people are growing habit of collecting recycled art pieces. With these articles, they decorate their gardens, their restaurants, their games houses and even their drawing rooms.

What would you like to have in your drawing rooms or gaming rooms? Terminator Statue or Star wars army?

Metal Craft Heroes Always Saving Against Odds

The history of Science Fiction Movies Genre is same old as motion picture industry, but it’s first solid footprints were not felt any sooner than 2nd half of last century when mankind had already witnessed the powers of science through atomic bombs and flying rockets. UFOs, aliens, robots, Terminators, Predators, Iron Man and avengers and Wall-E etc. are some of direct creations of Science Fiction.

Talking about them is really interesting in many ways. At times they themselves are threat to mankind’s survival and at other times they are the defenders of mankind against other odds. Nevertheless, movies based on their theme are a great success and people love them watching them around in their real lives. Interestingly, recycled art has allowed us a chance to have them literally around us in our real lives.

Star Wars Legacy and Recycled Art:

Last quarter of 20th century is quite notable in terms of movie art because it gave birth to the characters big enough to forget even in next century. Characters such as Darth Vader, Boba Fett, C3PO, R2D2 and Battle Droid are some of those characters who still haunt our memories. Their dialogues have reached the status of maxims and quotes. All their action was propagated through their immaculate robotic presentations.

Though George Lucas has retired this year, he has left behind the legacy of artists who make these characters for those who have fascination for them. Star wars Art is a discipline in Recycled Art where artists use scrap metal to make characters mentioned above. Though these star wars sculptures are made of scrap metal, yet they have all those features and details peculiar to their original versions. They are tall, they are detailed, they carry their weaponry and more importantly, they are harmless. You won’t be hearing Boba Fett saying, ‘Maybe I had grown up a nice guy if Jedi hadn’t beheaded my father in front of my eyes’ or nor Darth Vader will find your faith disturbing.

Terminator Sculptures: ‘I will be back’

It was 1987, when we first heard T-800 in Los Angeles Police Station saying, ‘I’ll be back’. And after two and half decades, we aren’t sure when Terminator gets back to screens. Well, Terminator series is one of world’s biggest movie successes. Everyone keeps Terminator DVD in his laptops and computers and many of the fans still love Terminator posters hanging in their rooms. But, what about having terminator statue in real form?

Terminator will surely be aware of recycled art and had belief in it that one day when he will not be appearing in movies, he will be practically present in our homes and gardens and study rooms. He is back for never leaving us away. These metal crafts cannot help us from odds as they do in movies but they surely tell us how to react to those odds. An inspiration for science and promise for future, this is what these terminator sculptures are all about.

Wall-E and Recycling:

Snow capped mountains replaced by glutting mountains of trash and life-blessing rains replaced by breath sucking sandstorms and torrential downpours! Yes, based on aftermaths of mass consumerism, Wall-E is a latest commentary over modern life styles. Before we talk about it, you must watch it first.

Scrap metal art allows us to have our favorite characters around us and know that ‘More litter is making our lives bitter’.

Terminators, Aliens, Transformers, Predators || From Fantasies to Facts

Gardens turned into star wars ordeal, study rooms shaped into Skynet’s terminators and sitting lounge furnished with furniture made out of roasted metals! This is what a sci-fi fan is surrounded with all the time. Sci-fi art coupled with recycled art is a unique blend of two extremes.

Recycled art propagates essence of transmigration. It tells that there is always a better use for things that have been discarded and abandoned as litter, waste, junk and scrap. And when things can be used again and again, in one form or another, there comes reason for the future. And what future will be like? Watch movie art. Sci-fi art becomes the liaison to the future and predicts how it would be or could be.

Science fiction versus Physical Sciences:

A lot of people are confused about sci-fi movies and literature. They tend to take it as practically nonsensical and claim the characters and events to be far removed from reality. How can an air craft kiss the face of sun whose rays are powerful enough to melt the rocks from the farthest distances? How can machines run mankind into slavery when their own existence rests at our disposal? How can we move faster than light when ‘special theory of relatively’ tells it’s practically impossible to move faster than light?

In short, to arguers, science fiction is nowhere close to physical sciences and thus, has no importance in our lives. And frankly speaking, I don’t have any bones to pick with them over their statement. But, Science fiction never aims at following establishes rules, theories and facts of science. It’s ironic to expect ‘fiction’ obeying physical rules of world. Fiction in its very nature needs to be imaginative and needs not necessarily be based on facts. Once this difference is understood and accepted, science fiction will ultimately start impressing upon hearts and minds.

Future shown today:

‘Science is what you know of today and science fiction is what you should know of tomorrow. Physical science deals with the facts but facts formulation carries a comprehensive process of hypothesizing and experimenting before forming conclusive facts. And based on these facts, relevant technologies are developed and, these technologies ultimately define the course of future.

Science fiction moves on other grounds; imaginative and artistic realms of mind. And once ideas propagated in movie art find potentials, scientists gear themselves up to bring it into reality. For instance, Jonathan Swift, couple of centuries ago, was first to introduce flying machines in his ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and when readers first read it, they called it impossible to have them around. But, now the air traffic is jam pack with all types of air crafts. So, the fantasies of past have become realities of present. Under same wings, today’s fantasies will become future’s commonplace realities.

Recycled Art and Sci-fi Characters:

In our times when environment is the pressing issue everywhere, recycled art promises the survival. And scrap metal artists are the ones who not only show their passion for bringing life to the dead but by making sci-fi characters, they unwind the relations among all; past, present and future. For those who know how science works on the basis of sci-fi art, there would be no surprises for them when they see terminators doing their dishes and aliens doing office works with them in their offices in future. Because, sooner or later, fantasies are sure to become facts.

Clean Up the Entire Planet

We have built aero planes and trains for mass transportation and have created internet and mobile phones for mass communication. Frankly speaking, this all is wonderful and our lives without all these machines would be next to death. But at what costs did we achieve all this?

We made all this progress at the cost of our earth that we live in. The heart of earth has been torn apart for getting its buried treasures; the trees have cut down to fend for our energy needs, protective layers of our environment have been terribly shoot down and now the entire world is bruised and needs embalmment. How can we make our environment life friendly again? Recycling holds the key to our planet’s survival that in turn promises our existence.

Recycling needs worldwide encouragement:
 
After years of reckless exploitation of environment, decades of pollution and centuries of terrible resource depletions, our planet is at the verge of destruction and now, as never before, it is our responsibility to take cautions in our lives. World affairs have now been so much dependent on all natural sources that it’s almost impossible to stop their usage, particularly of metals, right away is impossible. So recycling and Recycled art must be encouraged globally.

Recycling resembles exercising. We all are well aware of the fact that we do need it yet we never take any initiatives towards practically doing them and while doing so, we know that we are risking our health and life. Generally we are prone to thinking garbage and food packaging only as litter and junk and nothing in particular is wrong with this approach. Scrap metal is also another most widely referred litter which comprises almost 40% of the world litter collected worldwide. Recycling all them would be miraculously healing for our world because it must lead to following results.

Cutting Down Global Warming:
 
Even dumping scrap is hazardous to environment as it increases leaching of toxic materials, pollution and environmental degradation. Producing certain elements right from scratch not only results in more energy consumption but also leads to increasing global warming. For example, Al production creates 95% more CO2 as compared to recycled Al.

Recycling is not always about melting metals and molding them into newer shapes for fresh use. Using metals for newer purposes too is prime example of Recycling. A lot of artists are using scrap metals in various art forms such as Movie art or Star wars art. Pieces of scrap metals are acquired from various sources and all these pieces are used in such a way as to make different sculptures, sci-fi characters and vehicles.

Better Energy Consumption:
 
Recycling ultimately spares us with a lot of energy that was once to be used for creating metals from the start. To make it stand out, let’s follow plastic recycling which consumes twice lesser energy than making new plastic. Once this energy is saved, it can be used for better purposes and would surely help in meeting with its ever increasing demands. It’s not all but just a cog in the wheel. This recycling helps in reducing air pollution, improving water sources and eco-friendly environment.

Be the change that you want:
 
Almost every one of us should practice recycling as much as possible and help each other in strengthening our planet. Collectively we all can bring the difference that we want and speak about.

A Heaven of Hell and Hell of Heaven

‘The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven’, said John Milton in his epic ‘Paradise Lost’. Though he was talking about mind in general and not about men’s mind, this is universal explanation of mind state. A catalyzed and eager mind always finds realms to satisfy its adventurous instincts.
Under the same adventurous instincts, men started campaigns to find the truths of life and thus scientific disciplines were formed. Initially science happened to be a Moses’ staff which turned mankind’s miser destiny for the good and proved how we can make heaven of hell but I am afraid, things did not remain same for long enough and we built war air-crafts, missiles, atomic bombs for our self destruction. Now science is being used to make hell of heaven. Nevertheless, art is still blessing in disguise for the minds which are adventurous and want to make hell of heaven again.

Planet of Wasteland:

Whether industrialism has changed the world for the better or worse, it has surely brought in unprecedented amount of wastes with it. Just have a look at statistics relating to America. According to studies conducted in 2005, America’s 300 million people comprise only 5% of world’s total population. And America, being the leading waste producer in the world, produces quarter of world’s waste. It’s terrible to see that 5% of the world is able to produce one-fourth of the world’s junk. By seeing these deteriorating ecological conditions, we need to realize that economic stability relies only on ecological sustainability. Standards of success of any society should also be revised once for all. To see how good a society is, we need to see how its garbage is recycled and not by how many things are produced.

Recycle. Recycle efficiently and quickly. This is what we need now. Art from Scrap metal is the most innovative and exciting form of recycling wastes. Recycled art firmly believes in making heaven of hell. It’s always wonderful to see how one man’s junk is turned into another’s artwork. Not all the metals need to go wreck yards, some need artists’ creative desks as well. What can be created with this scrap? Your imagination is limit. From extra-terrestrial cyber cops to mammoth mammal structures, everything can be created by using simple metal scraps such as bike chains, plugs, gears and cables etc.

Recycling and Recycled Art:

‘Sorting, collecting and recreating’, this is how recycling works. Almost everything that we see around was once created. Once useless, it can be recycled to create another thing. The most recyclable materials include metals, papers, clothes, biodegradable waste and plastic etc. Each of recyclable material described before, involves particular recycling method. US environmental agency conducted a research on recycling and they came up with great results. According to the results formed after research, using recycled metals helps in saving 75% energy. Air pollution and water pollution reduces by 86% and 76% respectively. But recycling runs along the risks of accidents, injuries and even deaths.

Artists see grotesque things as quite fascinating subjects for their art. Recycled art provides adventure without any risks that is not only exciting but is safe for society as well. Metal craftsare exciting not only to see but they are worth keeping as art pieces as well.

Darth Vader, The Archetype Evil of Star Wars -- I see your lack of faith disturbing

Academy award winning concept artist Ralph McQuarrie died few months ago. Ralph’s work included iconic Star wars’ characters such as Darth Vader, R2-D2, C-3PO, Bob Fett and Chewbacca. Ralph’s characters in American epic film series, Star wars, bred such hollering influence on contemporary arts that the whole art disciplines, from novels to cinematography, felt their echoes.

Ralph’s acute mastery in art is truly depicted in these characters. Take Darth Vader, for example. Like Shakespeare’s Iago, he is the meanest. But, he is something more than that. He is meanest, brutal, minacious and Mephistophelean killing cyborg. Is that all about him? Of course not, Ralph coated such an appearance for him which portrays evil monster lying underneath.

Darth Vader and Star Wars:

Vader epitomized star wars art. His presence was enough to strike audience with fear and awe. 7 feet tall monster was not any rock-star villain doing swashbuckling action adventures and spin kicks. Vader was a tough tough tough enemy whose giant size with unmatched strength was enough to whack and smack down any opponent in the galaxy.

‘Leave them to me, I will handle them myself’, this is how Vader walks and talks. Ralph designed Vader’s character in a way that it creates shudder in the spinals; fearsome and terrifying. Everyone who sees Vader feels looming shadow of death over his head. His highly refined and fine polished black helmet with edges protruding downwards was powerful enough to show the sinister face that lurked under it. The eyes were seemed bulging and were bulbous. The sealed collar wrapped around Vader’s neck and at the back he had a cloak covering his black backpack.

Even after 3 decades of presence, Vader’s uniqueness hasn’t ever dipped an inch. Science fiction lovers just love to have his costume replicas, his sculptures and his movie posters. Just google Darth Vader and you will see thousands of people quoting his dialogues all around the forums.

Vader’s Sculptures:

Vader’s sculptures are quite cool and any man who loves metal crafts would love to have his hands on these sculptures made out of scrap metals and junk parts. 12 inches tall, sculpture made of nuts, bolts, vehicle parts and chains is really an amazing piece of art, worth keeping in art rooms and studies tables.
There is a special thing about these Vader’s incarnations. Vader is known as archetype villain in star wars saga and his appearance is quite intimidating that best suits his actions and character. But his reincarnations in the form of sculptures aren’t scary and hideous at all. They are rather loveable and cheery.
These sculptures are best satisfying for both, science buffs and art devotees. Unlike other creations, these sculptures are made with recycled art, they don’t hang heavy on pockets as well. They are the best decorations and best gifts as well.

Star Wars Art:

Star wars art is really fascinating as it provides us an escape from our earthly affairs and takes us to the far off galaxy empires, full of more wicked and more fancied powers than ours. Almost every creation relating to star wars, from books to dramas and characters to conversations, is interesting. Star war movies alone had a ground beating success, with the gross earnings of 4.5 billion dollars along with Academy awards.

Though it has been quite some time that we have seen any Star Wars movie, but star wars art is keeping us alive to the other far flung worlds of princes, knights and witches.

This Planet Is A Game Reserve – Predators Watch Us

Though there are no conclusive evidences found about extraterrestrial life yet we are so much swayed with aliens that modern literature, in its all forms, often embarks on describing aliens as part of our life. From green eyed creatures of flesh to computer-like intelligent steel bodied structures, we see these aliens in different cinematic movies, bookish novels and sometimes in poetic rhetoric as well.

Whether they exist in real life or they do not, their references have really taken presence into real life. Where did it all start from? It’s a long story and perhaps dates back to the times when Gods were being created throughout the world. But, modern highly ingenious, nth’ times intelligent and strong aliens are produced no earlier than McTiernen’s Predators back in 1987. Apart from movie Art, these aliens have gained special dug out in other art forms, notably in sculptures.

Predator and Predators:
 
When Sylvester’s Rocky ended in its rounds, and there was no other challenger on the earth to stand against Rocky, people started saying that now only some extraterrestrials would come and fight him. Perhaps Rocky’s creators did not pay much heed to this potential elevation but McTiernen surely found his venture lying herein. It was the idea that led to ‘Predator’ (1989), first of its name. Ever since Predator was released, it followed various comics and sequels.

The latest remake of this predator was released in 2010. Technology has seen unmatched progress during these 23 years and super powers of first predator now seem quite easily submissive to any modern commando. So, 23 years later, did predators update their technology? It’s quite interesting to see both versions of predator in a go and see the differences.Nevertheless predators found much appreciation around recycled art practitioners who just love to make their sculptures. Once only seen at movie museums, these sculptures have gained commonplace among households. Can you spot the physical difference between sculptures of 1989 predator and 2010’s predators?

Various forms of Predator’s Sculpture:
 
Sculptures made out of recycled art have their own peculiar beauty, far more entertaining and pleasing than that of traditional steel sculptures. Predator’s sculptures are best suited to be placed in studies rooms or TV lounges. This is where they inspire most exciting feelings and ideas.Anyhow, there are various forms of predators, varying in their sizes, weapons and shields. And commonly used parts are nuts, bolts, bike chains, spark plugs and screws etc. Based on different designs, these sculptures carry different amazing features. Their weapons are removable and replaceable. Sometimes, these metal crafts can move their head and torso. List can extend to various pages.

Custom Predator’s Sculpture:
 
How does it sound when you are asked to choose any features that you may like to bring with predators. Of course, in movies such effects can always be created but what about having cool physical features in sculptures? It’s rather about engineering and art working together. You can have your custom made predator’s sculpture as well. Besides chain ball and axe, you can hand them over sniper guns and belt them with hand grenades. I have often thought of getting predators sculptures made for ghost-rider bikes.
Only time will tell what predators will look like in next sequels or what next technologies they would carry along. Until then, recycled art creates more refined, more sustainable and more loveable sculptures. Have your predator and be the part of next generation predators’ crew.

All You Need is Nice Imagination and Heap of Junk -- Eureka

To create from thin air is magic and honestly speaking I am quite skeptical about its existence. But what about ‘create from scrap’? Thomas Edison said, ‘To invent you need torrid imagination and considerable heap of junk’. If you have both, you are all set for ‘Eureka’.

From invention to reinvention in Recycled Art:
 
Is Inventing things really that much simple? If it were really that much simpler, we would have inventors in abundance, lying at every corner of the street. But appreciating any creative art lets us share artists values and his creativity. This is what we called ‘love for art and creativity’. Frankly speaking recycled art is the most wonderful and futuristic art and it now holds wonderful clan of lovers and admirers. Creations of this recycled art can be as complex as any abstract portrait and can also be as simple as any clay pot.

Under the impressions of sci-fi star wars art, a distinct trend of creating surreal art pushed through scrap metal artists. As a result, sculptures like robo-cops, predators and terminator are now commonly seen all around. Their charisma is still increasing and people are celebrating them more than ever before. It would be really interesting to see some ground beating metal art sculptures.


Titanium Scrap and Stainless Steel Cyber Sculpture:

Had you ever thought that metal litter and junk outside your yard could be recycled to create such an amazing and mind blowing cyber metal craft? Chains, toothed wheels, nuts, and plates with other stainless steel objects are used to create such a marvelous cyber facial sculpture. Even watching it is a real treat.

Mammoth Elephant Built From house scrap:
 
It’s really wonderful. Isn’t it? Belly and legs made of monitors and TVs, with amazingly detailed tusks rounding inward, horns and tail with tufts. As I told earlier, there are no boundaries for recycled art.

Robotic Scarecrow:
 
I guess crows aren’t any afraid of effigies made of broom and pumpkin. This scarecrow made of shopping trolleys, bent pipes and scrubbing brushes surely can scare crows to death. This isn’t any artifact and surely is a result of interesting recycled art.

I am sure, like all of us, walls of your drawing room would also be decorated with picture frames bearing your memorable clicks. I believe that day is not far enough when we all may not have our own metal sculptures in our homes. It’s catchy, it’s weird but most interestingly, it’s possible to have them built out of easily available scrap.

Final Reflections:
 
Nevertheless, recycled art has always inspired my imaginations and every time I see end products made out of acute junk, I can’t resist praising man’s ingenuity. Recycled art isn’t only an art that artists use to make money or provide sensation to your eyes. There is a lesson for us in this art. ‘Nothing is useless in this world’. Even the most abandoned and left alone things in this world can be used to create majestic art.

Recycled art is most beautiful art and rather important in modern pretexts as well. From papers to plastics and from glass to metals, we produce huge wastes every day. It’s all getting alarmingly critical every next year. Skies are already burnt and oceans are polluted. It’s time to revitalize whole course of world affairs and recycled art is a challenging step towards better and pleasant future. Let’s all give an applause to recycled art.

‘A thing of beauty is joy forever; its loveliness increases, it will never pass, into nothingness’, how amazingly John Keats described enigmatic essence of beauty. In truth beauty is more than just a beauty, it’s rather an art; an art that inspires sensation into the minds of both, creator and audience. As in his ‘Ode to Grecian Urn’, Keats reveals his awe and inspiration for Roman Sculptors built hundreds of years earlier. His ending lines of this ode show his love for art and beauty.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty,   --   that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’

Contemporary Metal Art:
 
This thirst of beauty and creativity has led men from traditional art domains to avant-garde metal art. Frankly speaking, metal art too bears thousands of history with human kind, perhaps earliest form of art creations belong to metals and are from Bronze Age. But as soon as star wars from George Lucas reached public, it spawned altogether a whole new lot of Movie Art , under the banner of ‘expanded universe’.

Don’t tell me if you hadn’t seen ‘Real Steel’ from Hugh Jackman released last year. A more social and more realistic form of Star wars Art, this movie offers new horizons to explore through blending scrap metal art and modern artificial intelligence sciences.For now, we should start knowing what can be achieved out of junks of metal scraps available all around us. It won’t only be satisfying your creative shafts of mind but would also be greasing for your rusted valet in your pocket. These junks which apparently worth least dimes, can bring you huge money trams for you in future

Creativity and Art reaching their pinnacles:
 
It’s intuitive to all of us that if your ‘subject’ can be made with ‘mud’ bricks and metals’ it could surely be built with scraps’. So what you are willing to make out with your junk in your basement workshop. Give a try to the following.
• Furniture
• Sculpture
• Nuts and bolts forms
• Interior and exterior decors
• Art pieces
You don’t need to set up any welding plant and melting furnace to make these things. Just simple metal hand tools, bending machines and safety equipment is required and then you are good to kick off with scrap metal art.Recycled Art, broadly known as scrap metal art could also turn out as long lasting hobby. Initially there aren’t any soft strokes of brushes and mind pleasing flows of crayons, and you might be feeling scary about welding, brazing and soldering stuff.
Let me show you some elementary work that you can start right away.

Nuts and Bolts Chess:
 
Take any square metal sheet. Start making a checkered floor in blacks and whites. Almost all of shapes such as pawn, bishop, knight, queen etc, can easily be made with easily available scrap lying in your workshop, warehouse or junk yard. Elegance and fine-tuning is critical to scrap art. So give an extra time to make end product as much polished as possible.

Scrap Metal Dog:
 
Give a shot to scrap metal dog as well. It’s rather easier and more interesting. You need a spring, hexagonal nuts, washers and wires. Following image tells you how you should do it. As told earlier, depending upon your muse to creativity, you can create anything, from animals to flowers and from furniture to terminator sculptor. I would advise you to learn some basic techniques of welding and soldering as you would need them quite frequently.
The world is an oyster! This is how artists have always felt and believed.

How to arrange an amazing art exhibition?

Art have an amazing aura. It has the competency to attract masses. No matter where you are you can always find a lot of people who love art. That is why arranging an amazing art exhibition is both lucrative and fun. There are so many art students and other people who like to organize different events like exhibitions and auctions etc. But they normally are not aware of every thick and thin of it. That is why if you are one of those individual who is planning to arrange an art exhibition, you should continue reading this article, because in this article I am going to discuss some very obvious yet very important details that how to arrange a successful art exhibition.

Select a theme:
 
The first thing that you have to do in this regard is to choose a theme of your exhibition. Since different art lovers have different followings. That is why you cannot just put random types of arts and accumulate together to arrange an art exhibition. Because in this manner you may not be able to attract any specific type of art lovers. Your theme could be Recycled Art , Oil paintings, abstract art or any other art. But what you have to do is to stick to only or maximum two types of art to make your exhibition look more specific and managed.

Search Local Talent:
 
Starts locating local artists who are willing to show case their art but due to no platform they could not. You will find a lot of people who have some extra ordinary good work and want to exhibit their work. Since you have already decided the theme that is spread the word accordingly. And tell your friends and family and other social network that you are going to arrange a specific type of art exhibition and you need more and more artists. And do not limit yourself while selection. E.G. if you have decided to showcase art from scrap then bring in everything that comes under this category for example sculptures, Movie Art , sci-fi art etc.

Select Location:
 
Then select a venue for your exhibition. The selection of your venue should totally relate to the type of art you are going to exhibit. And determine beforehand that how much space you would require in order to exhibit your entire art collection properly. Plus also the location should suit your visitors and should be accessible by everyone. You also have to check that what are the attributes of the facility which include lighting, windows, and other casualties.

Set Dates and prices:
 
Now it’s time for you to set the date of your event. Attendance is all you want to make your exhibition a success. That is why you have to set your dates according to the visitor you will have preferably arrange it on weekends when everyone is mostly free. After deciding the dates now you should set the prices of every art you are going to showcase. And for that you should always consult with the artists and make price tags accordingly.

Create hype:
 
Last but not the least thing while arranging an art exhibition is to market it properly. You can always take help from social media and online forums where you can communicate the event to the relevant people. Because if you won’t create hype before arranging your event you may not end up having desired attendance.

It’s time to go green

Everything has a limit, even the unlimited. World in which we are living also have very limited resources of everything. Metal, coal, iron or any other resource, there is a particular limit of everything. If we consider this fact, do we really think that wasting all the time and producing new raw material and new products all the time is favorable for world and more importantly for us? What will we do when we will be having no resources at all? And wasting resources for producing new things is not the only con of our modern age; every new production brings a lot of haphazard side effects for environment.

This is the most polluted and non eco friendly age mankind ever faced. Thanks to our different industries they have just taken the best out of our environment. But it’s about time that we should start thinking about our future and support everything that helps environment to go green. In recent times we have seen a type of art that can be very useful and handy when we talk about protection of environment. That art is known as Recycled art. In this article I will be explicitly describing that what are the functions of this art and how can it contribute.

Recycled Art vs. Classic Recycling:
 
As the name describes this type of art uses all kind of waste which includes old clothes, cars, appliances, furniture or anything you name it and convert it into something useful. One thing that amazes me about this type of art is that it is even diminishing the concept of classic recycling. Though the classic recycling is also being done for the sake of reusing the products but that it is not very eco friendly as well. Classic recycling impact the environment in a negative way plus it also consumes a lot of money and space as well. But these types of art use all the non toxic junk and create useful things out of them.

Save resources:
 
This art further have so many sub categories like Scrap metal art , Sci- fi art, art from scrap etc. Artist from all around the world collects all the non toxic junk and made scintillating and useful items. The very prime benefit that we can get from this is to save a lot of energy. New production always requires consuming new resources, and consumption of new resources means more pollution and less resources. By reusing the junk for something useful we minimize the energy spent on new production and this directly impact positively on the climate change.

Economical benefits:
 
The benefit list of recycled art does not end here. There are so many economical benefits are there as well. First of all it is not easy to waste and recycle all the junk it requires a lot of man power, money, and space to serve the cause. But on the other hand when an artist reuses some junk which might have ended up at a junk yard, he is giving something useful and productive back to economy.

Let’s Resurrect:
Along with Recycled Art there are so many other ways are there as well which can protect the environment and make it green. But the only need is to support everything with full heart. And we all have to think in long term rather than short term. Because if it is not effecting us today than it will impact our coming generations. And if we would not leave a green legacy than whom else would?

How toxic is the recycled art?

World and the global warming.
 
As we all know the world is facing global warming. The climate is taking turbulent changes. With every year passed we are facing different types of weather patterns. And it’s a matter of fact that nature always has its reasons for any type of shift. We already know that the biggest reason behind global warming is the industrial revolutions. And how the ozone layer is being destroyed in last couple of decades. And how the heat is covering the world in its blanket. These are the facts we babble about almost every time in our daily lives.

Concept behind Recycled art.
 
In last few decades we have seen that world came up with so many unique and distinguishing ideas to actually eradicate such phenomena’s like global warming etc. And recycled art is one of those ideas. Recycled Art is basically operates with the concept of Art from scrap. Art from scrap have further categories like Scrap metal art, plastic art, etc. If we explicitly discuss then there are so many noble reasons are hidden behind the concept recycled art. E.g. the population of world is increasing and so the resources of world are getting limited. And in such a situation wasting the resources would not be a good gesture. Another reason is to fight against global warming.But, now the biggest question here is that how friendly the process of recycled art itself is to the realm in which we all are residing? How much toxicity it generates while actually creating Art from scrap ? And there are so many questionable questions come up in mind when we get concerned about nature.

The Green supply chain.
 
And before we commence the quest of finding answers to these questions, I would like to share the concept of green supply chain. As a matter of fact every company’s supply chain from procurement or logistics to production has certain impact on environment. Impact would be a small word in 21st century I would say the collaborated supply chain index have a complete influence on the environment. The shift and the change in the climate in the bigger picture have severely caused by the supply chains of the different industries. But different events forced industries to ‘GO GREEN’ and become eco friendly. And the idea of green supply chains initiates with bringing in environmental friendly inputs, processing them with environmental friendly processes, and creating products or byproducts those are environmental friendly. This sounds promising. Right?

How Recycled art can go green?
 
But, the real dilemma of this world is the ‘invention of lie’. There are so many companies those are by name environmental friendly and participating towards the elimination of global warming and are ‘GREEN’. But in fact they do not take much pain to make their supply chain green and processes harmless for environment. Considering, of course that if they will be so concerned about environment it will decrease their ROR. That is depressing.

Now let’s get back to the topic and discuss whether recycled art can go green or not. And the answer is yes. It can. And for that it has to perform couple of activities. First off, all the creation of ART FROM SCRAP should be dependent upon bio fuels because it will decrease the dependence upon oil which traps the world into heat. Then the Scrap metal art should be performed on only Non-toxic material. And above all the concept of green supply chain must be introduced along the entire supply chain of recycled art.And definitely no lies, because if the recycled art would not be according to the fundamental rules of fighting against the global warming, then even its existence is of no good.

Need cash? Start Collecting Scrap Metal

Who does not need easy and fast cash? Considering the needs and wants of every individual, it’s always handy to have a side source of income which can pay you back without even investing anything in it. Today, a lot of people throw out their old junk in their junk yards and pay quite a handsome amount of money to the hauler services to clear their junk yards. But in this whole situation there is a very charming opportunity for all those youngsters who are out of cash and want to earn a handsome amount of money. It’s easy, all you have to do is to collect the scrap metal from different places and need to know simple tricks of trade and if you have a truck by chance it could increase your chances of earning more money. And there you have it.

A pocket full of money. Well this might sound bit cheesy or unorthodox but there is no shame in earning money.Why this came out as a business, is because of a very unique form of art. Whom we normally call as Scrap metal art . Artist from all around the globe collect these pieces of junk and convert them into scintillating Metal crafts . They make amazing sculptures like Terminator statues , transformers, etc. And the best part about this art is that it makes the environment clean and eco friendly because the more we recycle junk the less pollution there will be.

Earn quick cash:
 
Now in order to earn a pocket full of cash plus helping people in clearing their junk yards without paying, all you have to do is to keep several points in my mind. The first point is that you may find the best pieces of scrap metal on sideways, Sides of the roads, etc. People daily waste a lot of junk which includes wasted car parts, old home appliances, broken vehicles etc. And all the companies who haul the trash charge these households money for trashing their junk. That is why when you will be on the move and collecting junk from these people for free they would love to let you clear their junk yard.
 
Win-Win situation:
 
But before you go out and start collecting pieces of junk from anyone’s junk yard the first thing that you have to do is to ask the owner of that particular junk. Because if you may not it might turned out as a theft of personal property. But in most of the cases you will find out households let your clear their junk with a bright smile on their faces. Because this is of no use for them. Plus by letting you clear their junk they are saving their self some money. So it’s a win-win situation. In most of the towns there are a lot of free sign boards where you can post your ads. So you can also take help of these sign boards and let people know about your services. And believe me or not you will be thrilled to see response from people when they will find out that there is a free hauling service in town.

Haul it off:
Now once you are done with collecting the scrap metal, all you have to do is to contact a local scrap metal yard or any scrap metal artist if any. And tell them specifically about what you posses do and how much they would pay for it. Many local scrap yards almost accept everything that has metal involved in it but still you should ask them explicitly that what they require, so that you get aware what you should haul from next time and what not.
