combination of objects used in the artwork.
Contemporary artists salvage materials that can be recycled
and made into creative forms. They can make artworks that
combine structure and wood and interact with the wind to
make music.
Some artists combine indigenous materials with textile and
mount these on a painted flat surface. Paper as an art
medium is also explored by artists.
In outdoor sculpture, there is a lot of use of brass welded
together and mounted on concrete. Wood and glass are used
for indoor sculpture. Found objects are combined and are
covered with resin.

outdoors. Many local artists lead the community or students
in painting murals on walls to make a more pleasant
environment and raise consciousness towards environmental
protection.

contrasting, such as orange and blue, red and white. In
