Well first let me give you a little taste of the beauty of Georgia O'keeffe...

Check it out... it will probably inspire you as well.
So here is what I have so far...
These are some flowers that I pressed a little while ago. O'Keeffe uses a lot of flowers in her work and so I feel as though some kind of flower should be in my own work. Fresh flowers may be better, but I had these on hand and they look really beautiful pressed. I'm a big big fan of pressed flowers.
Now here is a little sketch of two female body forms that I drew with the ideas of O'keeffe in mind. Her paintings displayed femininity and sexuality and I somehow need to convey that as well through my project. These are actually sketches I went off of for my ceramics project, which I may involve some way into the piece.Any suggestions???
I was having some trouble really getting a solid idea for the third project, too. I do like the idea of your ceramic figures. In intermediate I made a female figure kind of similar (except with more tentacles. Don't ask) but I think that seems like it would be a good starting point. Just throwing out a suggestion, but it might be cool to work with textures and glazes from thrown pots. I mean, you could probably thrown an O'keefe-inspired sort of vessel and use it for the shape. Plus there are a lot of really nice high fire glazes.
