Shell Sculpture

What is a good but easy sculpture to do using recycled things?

I'm in 8th grade and for my final exam in sculpting class, we need to do a sculpture using recycled things and its due in 3 days. It can be easy and quick and should be created using everyday items that can be recycled like tools, household items, furniture, photographs, toys, books, maps, clothes, shells, feathers, buttons, old jewelry, discarded items, old shoes, or clothing etc. It should also have a theme or meaning behind it such as---

-Season, death, emotions, growth, movement, light, friendship, environment, world peace, war, family, hunger, animals, depression, sports, values, money, success music, dance, fashion, etc.

Please help! i need to do this quick! thanks!

Make a Papier-mâché sculpture. Requires old newspaper, water, and starch (or flour).

Make wheat paste to use as glue with the flour and water. Use a balloon as a shape to layer the newspaper on. And just follow instructions below.
