Rough idea for final project

-

 For the final project I've been debating doing a self portrait of things that have made me who I am and things that have inspired me. I'm still not sure what I really want to do for this in terms of composition but I will be experimenting with ideas as they come. I want to include someone who is really important to me: my AP art teacher from high school Mrs. Fox. We always associated foxes with our teacher and I want to incorporate one in the image. Her encouragement allowed me to follow an artistic career path of which I didn't think I was capable of until she pushed me towards my goals. I also want to incorporate items that represent important people in my life. I still need to keep brainstorming because I usually do better with a prompt rather than an open assignment because I tend to like having direction.

 It took me a while to come up with a concept that strayed away from what I consider cliché, like life and death, and I came up with a couple of ideas to start off with. My first composition displays the inevitable loss of childhood we all experience as we age. My concept is that our childhood memories eventually start to dissolve and we can't remember exactly everything as it was when we viewed the world through young eyes.  My second picture is considerably more lighthearted. The composition shows a bridge branching out into the sky that signifies infinite opportunities that life gives us. In the sky is an antique light fixture with plants and a mini sculpture of a woman inside it that I found in my great grandfather's house years ago. I thought it looked cool in the sky and I feel that it can represent new beginnings since that object has not been admired in so long yet I am admiring it now. I am still working on this one so I might tweak some things before I call it finishe

 I decided to use my floor lamp as my inspiration for this project. I have an idea of what I want for it such as making the lamp's glass part with the lightbulb inside a sort of UFO in the sky. It will be hovering over a hill and beaming down on a cow, taking it up into the sky. The shape of the lamp reminded me of a flying saucer and the angle that it's at looks like it could have a beam coming from the lightbulb.     I decided that the pictures of the lamp while on were not the best choices, so I chose the best picture of it off and traced the lamp. My idea was to make my lamp into a UFO in the sky abducted and beaming up a cow, I have found several pictures I will consider turning into this concept. I wanted a landscape with cows in it (obviously), and a floating cow that I will put in the beam of the UFO. I also found a couple of images of cows that I wanted to combine with the landscape and the UFO lamp. I chose pictures of cows jumping so the cow in the sky doesn't lo
