The Randoli Elephant
This elephant is called "Randoli" because it is decorated with random colours, for instance orange eyes and a green body, and it is painted with patters that are used in Holi (an Indian festival). I am not from India but my background is Asian, so I know a little about Holi. I think this elephant should go on the Fourth Plinth because it shows Londoners that with a little hard work, something plain can be transformed into something beautiful. What inspired me was the bright colour of the rooster, which is to be put on the plinth as well as my Asian background.

Hope
We have done so much damage to our environment. The leaf shows that there is still hope. My inspiration was Hahn/Cock. I thought it also represents nature. A bit of nature in Trafalgar Square will look good!

The Pyramid
I was inspired by the Fourth Plinth award for the year 2007-2009 by the colourful model of a hotel so I decided to use some of the same colours in my design.

The Dragon
The Dragon is a pencil drawing. I was inspired by Sikandar, one of the short listed entries for the Fourth Plinth competition. The man on the horse made me think of something ancient and majestic and that’s why I decided to draw this dragon. I think a dragon in Trafalgar Square would be quite impressive!

All It Takes Is A Seed
I used recyclable newspapers, green paint and play dough. My project is all about saving the environment. I believe that it only takes a seed from each one of us to get the earth back to green. The earth in my project is dry and full of cracks representing the future of our planet without plants. A remarkable green cycle starts from each seed. I was inspired by the idea of Powerless Structures which won the Fourth Plinth competition. It imagines a world without war and I imagine a world without pollution and drought.

The Fourth Plinth
The students of Ashcroft Technology Academy were given the brief to create artwork which reflected London's evolving community. Students visted the fourth plinth in Trafalgar square and the local area to prompt inspiration of how to visually capture London's diverse cultural breadth.
