RECREATE A POSTER YOU HAD AS A TEENAGER:
Remember a poster you had on your wall as a teenager...recreate it... scale it down to make it fit on a regular piece of paper. Next, locate a piece of music that you would have listened to at the time when you had this poster.
If you are currently a teenager, just use a poster and piece of music that you have right now.
I am still a teenager, and my room is filled with heaps of quotes cut out and stuck all over my walls. However, my favourite poster on my wall is of the famous painting 'Il Primo Bacio' of Bouguereau's. It's not a typical 'teenager' poster, but he is one of my favourite artists (alongside Rodin) and this is my absolute favourite painting of his. I saw the real one when I went to Italy when I was twelve, which is where I got the poster, and instantly fell in love with it. The detail is incredible, but because I'm not really that much of an artists, my poorly drawn representation of it is an abomination to art.
I have a very eclectic taste in music, so I can't actually think of one particular song that sums up my teenage years. But for the sake of this exercise, I will use the song that is currently playing, which is:
"Weeds" by Marina and the Diamonds, from her new album 'Froot' which came out early last month.
