What kinds of materials do most artists work with? Depending on the kind of artist, some might use paint and brushes, some might use ink or pencils, and artists who make sculptures might work with stone or clay.

The artist who made the sculptures in this picture chose something totally different. He made 1,000 sculptures out of trash. The kind of trash he chose to work with isn't the kind that rots away easily, like fruit or other foods. The kind of trash that he built his sculptures out of will be around for a long time.
