This weekend we have a lovely idea suggested by one of our students \u2013 thank you! The theme is \u201cSuper Finds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this challenge, we would like you to create a piece of artwork inspired by something you have discovered or picked up that feels special. It could be a bargain from a charity shop, a sale treasure, or perhaps something found while out walking such as a colourful leaf, a pretty feather, or an unusual stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your \u201csuper find\u201d does not need to be valuable \u2013 it just needs to be meaningful or interesting to you. You might choose to draw or paint the object itself, arrange it in a still life, or even place it within a bigger scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to celebrate those little discoveries that make us smile and to use them as inspiration for your artwork. We are really looking forward to seeing what you choose and how you bring your \u201csuper finds\u201d to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Try photographing your chosen object in different types of light \u2013 natural daylight, lamplight, or even with shadows \u2013 to see how it changes the mood. Sometimes the smallest change in lighting can give you a whole new angle for your artwork. We cant wait to hear all about your Super finds! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
