I have to pick what to make for my cousework, and we don't have any specific topic we have to do. We can pretty much do anything as long as it includes design and making. I have no ideas or inspiration. Where do I get ideas? What can I do/make?

Hi @Livs18

It sounds like there is a lot of creative freedom, which is great!

Is there maybe something you are interested in outside of school that could be your inspiration?You could start making a mind map of all the things you are interested in, or things you think would be fun to design and then go from there.

I personally like going to exhibitions and art galleries for inspiration.

Also it might be a good idea to see if you can look at past students projects to get more of an idea of what is possible.

I hope this helps and good luck! Also feel free to share your ideas on here if you want help deciding
