An art celebration can leave room for genuinely different outcomes

Give a shared starting shape or open prompt, then let makers decide how to develop it. Optional display and maker explanations can celebrate process without requiring everyone to reproduce the same finished picture.

Offer several starting points. Allow individual directions. Invite optional display.

Preserve the choices that make the work original

One shared shape can become many different imagined scenes.

Leave room for different artistic decisions and optional sharing. A celebration of art can recognise process without requiring matching products.

Do not require a matching final product.

What choice did the maker make? Provide collage materials.
