London art

[shecanfly]

hey guys.

im really stuck and could use a little help :(
well im doing a canvas for my final piece in school soon and its based on london life past and present but im having real trouble with it.
i mean i could put things like the london bus's, the taxi's,telephone boxes the things you see around london i just dont think that real shows what london is about. but then again i dont think i know what london is about.
and as for the past i thought i could do maybe something about londons music scene around about the beatles time. but ive never lived in london and i was not around in the beatles time haha.
so i was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas or tips.
its driving me mad.
thank you :)

Do you have to use this topic?

Surely it would make more sense to do something about the place you're actually from instead of somewhere you've never been before

i know, it would make a lot more sense.
but its like a set thing. :/
it has to be london.

Hmmm well how about making it all about the architecture? That's easy enough to find online

You could use the modern stuff like the gherkin and the london eye for the present, as well as the older things like westminster abbey and big ben for the past :)
