Do this by choosing something referencing home, school, family, friends, relationships, music, places, etc), that identifies you as a teenager. What would this look like as a word collage? The "word collage", are letters, words, sentences creating representations. This should become the visually textual component to the second step of your project: the art object. This art object can be a drawing, painting, sculpture etc, that complements and extends your word collage.
