Plastic blocks, often associated with building and construction play, are a versatile and engaging material for visual arts projects. Their vibrant colors, varied shapes, and stackable design offer endless creative possibilities, making them a fantastic medium for exploring concepts like composition, symmetry, texture, and spatial awareness. Whether used for creating stamps, building frameworks, or crafting intricate mosaics, plastic blocks inspire imagination and hands-on experimentation.
