Easter Holiday Challenge

I can't let a holidays go past without a challenge these days.  It breaks my heart to think of my little artists missing out on art class and not creating for 2 whole weeks....

So with the shops full of these cute little chicks:


The challenge hatched from an egg (or my head so to speak..).  This challenge is open to all existing students of Sunnyside Art House.


SUNNYSIDE ART HOUSE – EASTER HOLIDAY CHALLENGE


Keep creating these school holidays by entering the Sunnyside Art House Easter Holiday Challenge……


All you need to do is create a piece of artwork that involves your Easter Chick (I attached those cute little guys above to the top of the challenge page)


Some ideas are:
  •  Do a drawing and glue your Easter chick into the scene 
  • Make a nest or home for your chick out of recycled materials
  • Use items from nature to make your Easter chick a home
  • Use your Easter chick as a drawing prompt and do a painting of him / her 
  •  Use plasticine or clay to make a scene for your Easter chick or make him / her some new friends
  • Finger knit a scarf for your Easter Chick 
  •  Use material scraps for a nest, clothes, blanket for your Easter Chick
  •  Draw, make or decorate the Egg that your Easter Chick came from

Let your imagination go wild and think up other ideas.  


A mini chocolate Easter egg for everyone who enters and there will be prizes for the three best entries.


Here are a few quotes to inspire you:


Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun – Mary Lou Cook.


Art is not what you see, but what you make others see – Edgar Degas


I dream my painting and then I paint my dream – Vincent Van Gogh


Art is as natural as sunshine and as vital as Nourishment – Mary Ann Kohl


Have a great creative, relaxing holidays!
