Descriptive Word Art

So for this next assignment you will be choosing one word from the box up front to base your entire artwork on.  So if your word is "MYSTICAL" you will think of something that you believe represents the word MYSTICAL.  And everyone can take there own spin on the word, as words mean several different things when used in different contexts.  You may do any of the following for your artwork:

*Find an image on the Internet that represents your word to draw out.
*Think up and draw something from your head that represents your word and then draw it out from memory or use some visual references as needed.
*Get images (from home or around the classroom) to draw that represent your word.
*Walk around and take a picture of something that represents your word and then print it and draw it out.

MY EXAMPLE: So if my word is Mystical-I might find a picture of something from Salvidor Dali's style of art (as he is my favorite artist) and then try to use his same style but use a different image to create something similar to what he did.  If you want to be able to call the art 100% your own you need to learn to start "not copying exactly what you see on the internet" and instead changing it at least 40%.  Kind of a rule of thumb you should try to go by in art.
