"💔 1. “Breaking Innocence” Still Life A carefully arranged still life: • Childhood objects (teddy, ribbon, toy) • Teenage objects (makeup, perfume, jewellery) Twist: • The surface (canvas or objects) is torn/cracked • Underneath → different imagery (e.g. scribbles, darker tones, hidden layers) 👉 Literal “rips and tears of perfection to reality” — this is a top-grade idea ⸻ 🪞 2. Mirror-Based Still Life Set up: • Objects in front of a mirror In the mirror: • They appear different (childhood versions vs real versions) Example: • Real: makeup + jewellery • Reflection: crayons + toys 👉 Visually powerful + conceptual ⸻ 🧸 3. Melting / Transforming Still Life Objects morph into each other: • Teddy dissolving into fabric → becoming clothing • Crayons melting into lipstick Style: • Slight surrealism (links nicely to Janice Wu) ⸻ 📦 4. “Memory Box” Composition Still life of a box: • Half open • Inside = childhood • Outside = teenage life Use: • Strong lighting contrast (inside warm, outside cooler) ⸻ 🧵 5. Stitched / Torn Composition Paint a still life, then: • Physically tear sections • Stitch them back together with thread 👉 Symbolises: • Repairing identity • Imperfect growth This is very high-level and examiners LOVE this kind of risk Using these ideas Create for me sketches per idea that would be a base for a 10 hour exam Then using said images give me final pieces"
