Ideas for art project

UniGirl4 · 2007-09-10, 02:34 AM

For my art class I have to do a series of 4 pieces about 1 theme. I chose unicycling for my theme and want to show it in a different light, not just clowns. I was hoping to show stuff like MUni, street, trials, etc. I can use what ever medium I want for my pieces and make them any size.
So if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I love love to hear them. I know some of you are very artsy. I would also appreciate peoples pictures that I could draw, paint, etc...

Thanks
Marissa

Here's my 1st dodgy view/design of it.

Here's a powerpoint presentation I made for my ICT class last year. It's got some really good pictures.

I haven't got maniy ideas. Any medium, you say? Make a chocolate unicycle, live size and then eat it with the whole class. I'm sure everyone will be well into unicycling by the time you're done.

If it was me doing this, and I was a really good painter, id probably do one picture showcasing each skill you put up there. On painting showing someone doing a stand-up one footed extended coast in a really cool place, and the same for each other style. Just something extreme though, and at awkward angles that capture everything about the trick, but really makes it stand out and almost look weird.

Thats what I was thinking. I wanted to do it in pen and ink though, it would take longer but I really like doing it.
Thanks for the ideas guys.

1. Take one very large piece of paper.
2. Cover uni tyre in paint.
3. Ride over paper several dozen times.
4. Change colour paint.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until paper is covered.

Hey presto. One Jackson Pollock.

And film yourself doing it too.
Set up a little monitor next to your piece so people can watch how you did it.

Modern art is so easy.

Thats a really good idea. I could do that and paint a unicyclist in black on top with the tire marks in the background

an idea for a picture for ya, sit next to a wall with the camera looking up. Have a uni person do a gap jump and as he/she takes off, snap the picture. Have the wall on one side of the pic, with the person on the other side in the air. I think it would look pretty nice.

Quite difficult actually. Many many artists ahve tried to recreate Jackson Pollacks, but they are unable to capture the same emotion and evoke the same types of feelings as his original works. There are reasons why his work stands out. Have you ever seen one in person?

No.
And I wasn't being entirely serious.
It was the closest style I could think of off the top of my head.

I have started my first piece which is basically Into The Blues idea with a few changes. I still have to do 3 other pieces so if anyone has any other ideas they would be much appreciated
