Think about what spring means to you.
For this competition you can choose any subject matter you like, so long as it relates to springtime.
Some potential ideas could be:
Flowers: Spring meadows, flower arranging, flowerpots, anything flower related you can think of.
Baby animals: Spring often brings to mind lambs, chicks and rabbits. You might draw inspiration from these or surprise us with something more exotic!
Spring in Autumn: In countries like Brazil and Australia, Easter falls in Autumn, not Spring. Create a design that reflects both seasons, perhaps an Easter egg split into two halves, one celebrating Spring and the other Autumn. Yep, in the southern hemisphere Easter is in Autumn!
Eco: Perhaps you could base your idea on something to do with ecology?
Decorated eggs: In many cultures, people decorate eggs in spring using a wide range of techniques. Could you find examples online and try out one of the methods yourself?
These are just ideas to get you started. If you’d prefer to base your spring creation on something completely different, that’s absolutely fine.
Create a piece of art based on the theme of spring.
You can use any materials or medium you like. Sculpt, paint, bake or draw your design, or even build a model. The only limit is your imagination!
What weird or wonderful idea will you come up with?
