54. Make a drawing machine. 
21. Wrap it up.
Tired of looking at your sculpture or any everyday object? Cover it with a cloth, bed sheet or giant tarp. Ex. Christo’s ‘Wrapped Bottle,’ 1958.
18. Put your art in a wood frame. 
If your art is seeming a little glum, put that thing in a nice wood frame. It will look like a million bucks. There are many types of wood. Oak, Maple, Cherry, Pine, Oh my. Try going to Home Depot, they have a large selection of woods.
12. If you’re stuck in a dust bowl, use that dust. Land art is a great way to make art inexpensively, and with what’s around you.
Ex. James Turrell purchased Roden Crater in 1979, and has been pushing dirt to create a gigantic naked-eye observatory ever since.
10. If you’re strapped for cash, and you’ve just finished your oatmeal, consider making a pinhole camera from it’s packaging.
Ex: A pinhole camera made from an oatmeal box. The pinhole is in the centre. The black plastic which normally surrounds this camera (see picture above) has been removed.
6. When your story is best told in three dimensions, consider an armature; a structural skeleton that provides stability to a framework.
Ex. Hadrosaurus Foulkii, Bronze, 15′, 2003. Haddonfield, NJ. Built from heavy, stiff aluminum wire.
3. You can create images by assembling small pieces of colored glass, stone or other materials, in a process called mosaic.
