The art form known as Found Art (or Found Object Art) began in 1915 when Marcel Duchamp mounted a bicycle wheel to a stool. Two years later, he perplexed artists everywhere with a water-fountain made out of a urinal (pictured right).Today, Found Art is "art created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function" (Wikipedia).
So basically, Fount Art is made out of everyday objects. Prime materials can be recyclables, old clothing, or anything you'd find in a garage sale!
