Personal Choice - Art Project Question

If you could choose to do any any art project or artwork that you wanted to do what would it be?

You would have 3 classes to complete the project.

It could be something that we've already work on or something totally new.

If we have not learned about what you wanted to do you would have to teach yourself...but I would also help.

Is this something you would like to do?

If so, name the project.
