Brainstorming questions: Do you want to work from observation? How many artworks? 2,3, more? What materials? What surface? Want to collage or add texture underneath? Want to write on it? Want to create recycled paper to draw/ paint on? What other images do you want add? Do you want the artworks to match/ connect or not?
