Art Abandonment Ideas

Art Abandonment is a movement across the U.S. in which artists leave art in public places for others to find.  Sometimes entire families do it together as a family project, sometimes parents help their children do it as random acts of kindness, sometimes professional artists do it simply for fun.  Here are some examples and ideas:

Left on a picnic table...

Left on a library book shelf...

Attached to a wall...

Wrapped up with a tag...

Left in a Little Free Library...

Decorate pennies!  Cheap nail polish is supposed to work great.

Paint sticks!  Simple and fun.
