Art can be made from a number of different materials. Not all of these have to come from an art supply store. Making art out of nontraditional materials like spoons or hair or food makes your art unique. People tend to forget that art doesn't have to be made out of just supplies found in the art supply store. People can find art supplies everywhere. In your back yard, in a hardware store, in the grocery store, and even in the trash can. By using nontraditional materials, your art comes to life and can become ironic, more meaningful, and even more real. Never limit yourself to use just supplies from an art store. Expand your horizons to many different types of art supplies from many different places.
