Art Theme Help Needed ASAP!?
Well, as a former high school and college art teacher, this is a tough one. But--I think a series on self-identity would work and you find some interesting concepts: For instance, if you are thin,blonde,blue eyed, beautiful---what would you look like if you were an abstract sculpture? Use ceramics, maybe, or papier mache' if that's not available, and make a tall, slim, lovely, golden abstract figure with a couple of blue touches--nothing obvious like eyes. If you're black, short, a little overweight, with long curly hair--well, that's a different sculpture, isn;t it? Then--what would you look like as an abstract painting reflecting your feelings--pick a color for each feeling or emotion or trait and make them blend together---a collage (and most collages are not successful because they don't 'mesh' enough--so take it further than you think you need to!) puts all your interests together for a background, with perhaps a quick portrait line sketch over everything---well, I think you could take off from there. Photography--pick a theme, reflections, color-related emotions, faces--old, young, wrinkled,ugly, despairing, hopeful--and build a sequence. Please let me know if this is helpful! Aunt Joanie
