Answer 1

I did a project once with yarn.  I used to Morton Salt girl, I glued the yarn on one piece at a time on a huge piece of plywood (I drew it out on the board first).  It was really good.  You could use any picture.

Answer 2

Death,meditation and otters?

Answer 3

What about rubbish / garbage - not a popular subject for a art project. Maybe tie it into something to do with the contrasts. The idea comes from a photo I took recently of this old rusty oil drum that had the word 'rubbish' painted on the side, it was sat on the side of the road on this beautiful english country lane with panoramic views of green rolling hills in the background.

Answer 4

For my art project, I'm studying beaches. This basically means I need a lot of holidays.

Also, my friends are studying horses, cafes, tattoos/body art, pop art and landscapes.

Hope this helps. And if not, try looking at some existing artists work for inspiration first.

Answer 5

deterioration you can photograph objects in different stages of disintegration - Like fruit - Or flowers - you could present the photographs in reverse order and back again so the flower dies and becomes whole again  - or in a circle.

I used to visit a disintegrating cow on a nearby beach - it was gross but very interesting  

Answer 6

Here are some themes off the top of my head:

Change - it could the changing body, changing minds, changing worlds, etc

Silence - Capturing the moment, silent night, self reflection, loneliness

Obsession and Addiction - Alcohol, drugs, stalkers, someone who is obsessed with their work

Colour - The use of colour in photography, different races and cultures, the effect the world would have if it were drained of colour

Boxes - portraying the feeling of being trapped in a box, being locked up, or the idea that a box can be anything to a small child (a television, a rocket, a house) and then you could portay you work in a box?

Answer 7

the human form-bodies, people, activities.

wings and feathers-butterflies, birds

landscapes- scenery, landscapes, well known places of beauty

animals

happiness-anything related to making people happy, luxuries of life

town or/and urban-places where people live, iscolated or busy, peoples lives where they go what they do

gardens-flowers, beautiful gardens, japanease gardens, animals, insects, people

hobbies-any hobby anywhere

culture-different peoples cultures and backgrounds

the list is endless really. just think of somethin that interests you, research it, then see if you can make a good interestin project out of it.

good luck

Answer 8

How about the northern lights, you should be able to get photographs but it might be difficult! They can be really wonderful.

Answer 9

Well, how about being absolutely literal. Draw/ paint/ whatever exactly what's in front of you. Because that's what Van Gogh did. Starry Night blows my mind because of the colour in it and the marvellous paintstrokes. But it's not a specially deep concept - it's just the night sky.

You could try to take a really ordinary idea and make it special by the way you do it. I've seen some fantastic works that are pictures made of snaps from a digital camera cut up, assembled into a collage, then painted over with oils.

Answer 10

"An idea that can create idea."

Hmm.

Answer 11

I did an art project on culture. I drew a huge globe to display the drawings (in pastels) of women's faces from around the world. I did an Asian woman, Irish, Aborigine, African, & others, wearing their national head dress. All of which you could find on Google! (The United Colors of Benneton did something similar in their advertising campaign).
