if your looking at flowers and say are doing photography do something different like go into the botanic gardens and get on the ground next to alot of them and take some panoramas of what the flower sees so take on the persona of a flower or something, remember to explore ALL the ways to look at flowers or how different people or animals see them etc so to a child or animal a flower might look huge to a adult it would look rather small, or you could zoom right in and focus on the centre of a flower or the leaves. do you have an idea about what medium you want to work with? or are confident with??

I'm doing studio arts.. My theme is street design (art - graffiti) and how it has become a symbol of the way Melbourne is perceived and known.

I am about half way through my first folio, i've just collected a lot of inspirational photos of landmarks, graffiti ect and then I have done a few painting tests (paint splats to resemble "graffiti"). It's scary to think about how much more I need to have but I have no idea of what else to put (except for trials ect).
Does anyone have any viewpoints on how I could expand on my theme to bring about new ideas and concepts?

cathtacular:
look at how Melbourne is perceived by different people, for some people its an escape, some home, some people hate Melbourne.
look at the intricate side of Melbourne for symbols and the values different people have in Melbourne which are shown in the way certain people perceive Melbourne. 
- multiculturalism
- historical
- economic
- social
also look at how these have changed over time,

look at what these mean for different  people and how these people express themselves, for instance some might paint pictures of their favorite places in Melbourne or graffiti, some might open shops or cafes etc

go and talk to people in Melbourne from really different socio-economic backgrounds.
talk to people in Macdonald's, street performers etc about what they think Melbourne is about.

you can (like i said earlier, im blabbing) look at how this is shown to everyone or even really quiet and forgotten etc.

i hope that helps (and makes sense)

usually flowers are really colorful so i really like this
look at things that arnt as pretty traditionally as flowers, and get pushed aside or something that is ugly juxtaposes the prettiness of a flower and combine the two
