Word Challenge | 2023
Your Art World
Create something inspired by the word protect.
Protect is a word that sparks different ideas for everybody. What or who do you want to protect? Who and what protects you? Whatever comes to mind, whether it’s an umbrella protecting your hair from the rain, or climate activists protecting the sea from plastic, we’d love you to make art about it!
Your art can be 2D, 3D, video, audio or creative writing.
