Suggestions: 

● Think about what you love that makes Alberta unique. Is it the diverse landscape? The resilience of the people that live here? A strong sense of community? Use this to inspire your work and to help describe it. ● If you get stuck, ask your friends, family and classmates for help. They can critique your work or discuss ideas, as long as you are the one to create the art. 

● We are not looking for perfection. If you feel inspired to create in a way that you are not a master at, that’s ok! Give it your best shot. 

● Get creative!
