Base the artwork on a personal life event. Creating a piece of artwork that symbolizes or recreates a memory.
Fashion something you own into a work of art. Turn that flute you never play into a sculpture. Redesign an old desk. Use an old window as a painting canvas. Choose something and let your imagination do the rest.
Imitate one component of a piece of artwork to begin your own. Choose the subject or the form. The subject is what the piece is about, like a certain type of animal or a landscape. The form is the type of design, like abstract painting and sculpture. Apply your own content, or meaning to produce an original piece of art.
