The word 'safari' comes from the Swahili language and means journey or expedition. Imagine standing on Kenya's Masai Mara during the Great Migration, where vast herds of wildebeest and zebra roam across golden grasslands beneath colourful sunrises and glowing sunsets. Acacia trees create striking silhouettes as Africa's incredible wildlife brings the savannah to life.

Whether you've visited a safari park, watched a wildlife documentary or simply love wildlife, let this week's theme take you on your own creative adventure.

🦒 Creative inspiration:


🎨 Safari Landscape – Capture the beauty of the African savannah with rolling grasslands, distant mountains, acacia trees and dramatic sunrise or sunset skies.


🎨 Safari Animals – Choose a favourite safari animal, such as a lion, giraffe, elephant, zebra or rhino. Draw, paint or colour it in its natural habitat.


🎨 Journey Across the Savannah – Create artwork inspired by the Great Migration, where herds of wildebeest and zebra travel across the African grasslands. Show movement, dusty trails, river crossings or the vast open landscape.


🎨 Safari Adventure – Imagine you're on safari. Create a scene with a safari vehicle, wildlife, breathtaking landscapes or an unforgettable encounter with nature.


🎨 Safari Memories – Take inspiration from a safari park, zoo, wildlife documentary, book or photograph. Recreate a favourite animal, landscape or memorable moment in your own style.


🎨 Patterns of the Wild – Explore the bold stripes, spots and markings of safari animals by creating an abstract design using colour, shape and repeating patterns.


Whether you're using pencils, paints or digital art, I hope this week's theme inspires your creativity. Have fun creating, and I'll see you all on Wednesday at 7:30 pm (UK time)! 🙂
