Hey Earthlings, April 22 is Earth Day. This one's a little more complex than usual, so make sure you're clear on the rules.

Pick one word from each of the categories shown below (environment, time, weather) and create a scene that depicts those three words (e.g. a forest scene at night, while it's raining).

To determine the exact amount of colours you can use, add up the numbers in the brackets. For example, if you pick forest/nighttime/raining, then you'd use exactly (2+2+1) 5 colours.

Environment:

• Mountains (1)
• Forest (2)
• Beach (3)

Time:

• Daytime (1)
• Nighttime (2)
• Dawn or dusk (3)

Weather:

• Clear (0)
• Raining (1)
• Snowing (2)
