The Challenge

Our first project is Still Life! Hopefully, you will have watched this video about the project in your school but here it is so that you can watch it again and share it with your family. It will tell you everything you need to do.

The deadline for entries is Friday 14th March 2025

If you just want to create the art but not enter the challenge, that’s fine. Good luck and we hope you enjoy creating your art work!
