Fruits of New Life

'I crafted this detailed collage from my Week Junior magazine clippings and I chose fruits (a banana and strawberry) to symbolise the nourishment and sweetness of God's creation and its delicateness. I feel the layers in my collage represent the layers of meaning in the Easter story such as resurrection, joy and the blossoming of something beautiful from humbleness if you have faith.

I also enjoyed creating the shadows under the banana and the speckled detail on the strawberry. It highlighted to me the importance of not taking things for granted and to always enjoy the small things in life'

A New Beginning

Onkaar Nijjer (13)

I love drawing and painting because it allows me to express my thoughts and feelings through art.

In my attached artwork for the Easter Art competition I have used different colours, layers and textures to make a powerful portrait. I have used vibrant yet colder tones to convey the balance of emotional strain that Jesus experienced during the events leading up to Easter but the power of hope comes through. I used texture and layered paints to add depth. The rough darker tones symbolise the difficulties Jesus faced - but I used smooth texture and lighter tones with green and white colours to symbolise the greater power of hope, life and new beginnings which Easter represents.

For me, Easter and my piece of art symbolises that through any of life's challenges - hope, new life and joy emerges
