Art project proposal?

Art Project/Proposal?

• I'm a senior in high school and I'm taking an Art IV independent studies course. I have to write up a proposal on a project I'm going to do. I don't particularly enjoy painting and we'd have to build the canvas and frame ourselfs.. so I'd rather not do painting or sculpture/clay work. I want to do some sort of drawing, maybe a series? But I don't know what to do. I love lady gaga and editorial fashion, like vogue. Any ideas on what I should do? I need to write a paper on the supplies and how i'll do it and why, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Answer:

  I love Gaga, too! I have an idea but I'm not sure how to explain it... I was thinking that you could pick a few songs (the ones off The Fame Monster would work best for this) and draw the different sides of the song. The literal side, and the real meaning. For example with the song, "Telephone" the literal drawing would be Gaga's phone ringing and her not answering it. And the true meaning of the song is about Gaga's fear of suffocation and how she doesn't want to get so busy and caught up in everything, she just needs to breathe. So you could draw that in the opposing image. And if you know the song "So Happy I Could Die" the literal image could be of her just being extremely happy in a club with her friends. But the dark meaning of the song is her fear of alcohol, so you could express that in the other image. If you don;t know what some of her songs mean, you can just google it, I think she explains them all in a Fuse interview if you want to watch that on youtube, but it's the one from 2010, not 2011. Hope I helped (:
