School Project in Art

Hey , so i picked art as one of my major (others are IT and design) and my teacher wants us to pick up a theme, bring 3-4 pictures of it and start doing sketches, paintings, drawings all kinds of things about that theme.kind of like A Level Art.

examples:

face expressions: u will have to study the different face expressions a human can make, draw them , then maybe make a face sculpture etc.

tattoos: history of tattoos, how it started, different styles of tattoos, freaks etc.

hope it helps..


The problem is, i can't think of anything (theme) and thought to ask here.
it needs to be a bit creative and outstanding



THanks

One question: are you allowed to use Photoshop or any other graphic software?

i dont know i'll ask..i think not cause we have to do it in a sketch book A3

I always start drawing a Mig-21, It always ends in a Saab Gripen..

Now thats a theme right?

1. Graffiti is a good idea imo, it is an Urban groove, modern art and all that. You cam make them in PS, print, then put a paper over it and copy, then with that sketch make something on a large canvas.

2. Ink! I love ink! Usually something like a surreal portrait looks good with ink.

3. Abstract, always good if you match the colors right! You can even take a really, really giant canvas and use random colors (as long as they match to a point).

4. Browse trough the works of Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher, but don't look at the painting , look at the drawings.

just some random ideas

This is great. I think it'll be usefull for my art classes too...

Echer would be a very good study area. He was a very intersting artist and his works are amazing.

What are you best at in art? Portraiture or landscape?

If portraiture i'd choose movies as your theme.... you could do a marilyn monroe, an elvis, and some other greats of the buissiness.

Landscape i'd look at a countries landscapes, for exapmle you could look at australian landscapes and the difference between an aboriginal artists landscape and a traditional landscape.

Hope i've given you some ideas, the best advice i could give you is to play to your strengths but at the same time go for something new, something thatwould interest you to learn about.

Thanks for the help people..seems i didnt explained well what i need.

In my case if i did that, my theme would be aircraft or war.

im good at everything xept people.as long as i concentrate and aint bored.




if u havent understand by theme i mean like still life:

-i'll find artits that draw only still life
-i will draw still life
-a bit of history or something.

so a theme has other themes in it.



thanks everybody, more ideas would be gratefull

i chose "religions"

a pretty good theme as my teacher was
