Cyclical Nature Of Things

For this assignment, the students are asked to explore the cyclical nature of things. With these guide lines, restricitions are very minimal. To narrow down this wide array of options, I recalled certain events that have transpired in the past year. I chose to center this project around my brand new nephew and my sisters pregnancy. Still keeping Corbin (nephew) incorporated into the piece, I'd like to represent the different stages my sister underwent from the beginning to the end. I know that these "Stages" have been themes in many art pieces, so I want to stray away from making this appear too literal. Composition wise, I am interested in designing with a collage style. I intend on scanning photographs of her different stages of pregnancy month to month, ultrasounds, and other items that would add to the cycle.
