HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations, “Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.” Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be. You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers. 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了一位德国艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，并以此鼓励读者行动起来，为环保出一份力。 1．What do we know about Schult's sculptures A．They served as garbage containers.
