In need of art inspiration?

I have to make some posters but the main part of it is to try and use a vast range of techniques and media. Not just paint or photography or computer but printing techniques and using different materials. Apart from the basic sort of things I can't really think of how I can go about doing this. Does anyone have any inspirational ideas?

I had to do something very similar as part of a unit when i was studying graphic design.

For different media, dont limit yourself to 'normal' art materials. Look around you...anything can be used as media!

- Broken cds
- pencil shavings
- dried leaves
- pebbles/stones
- mud
- hair
- pipe cleaners
- cotton wool
- clay
- beads
- drink cans (careful with your hands)
- wires from old electrical appliances
- food dye
- charcoal
- chalk
- coloured glass
- newspaper
- magazines
- tissue paper
- card
- paper
- paint
- fabric
- foam
- sand
- wool

round a load of materials up, once you've got them try to think of different ways of applying then, instead of glueing them on, try glueing the paper & then throwing the materials on?

If you use paint, a normal method of media, but how about changing the method of applying it? Throw it on, blow it on, mix it with another material like sand for example.

start to think outside of the box with the media you use and how you use it. Think of things you wouldn't necessairly think of doing...and then do it!
There are never really any boundaries when it comes to art....which is why i love it!
