Have a think about what you could create in 40 minutes.

Get your tools. Get comfortable. Set a 40 minute timer. Then get creating.

It could be a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, or an illustration. Whatever form of art you like.

After 40 minutes stop. Take a picture of what you’ve created. Write a little blurb about LearnAsOne and your piece of art. This page will help you. Then pop it on eBay.

The most important bit

Follow these instructions about how to post the item on eBay so that the proceeds go to LearnAsOne.
