There is a current exhibition at the Tate Britian of the work or artist Tony Swain-the simple idea of using newspaper and acrylic to create and capture a scene or mood could provide great inspiration for an artwork.
Check out the link below and repond with your own thoughts, and possibilities for your interpretations...

Tony Swain was born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland in 1967 and lives and works in Glasgow. Swain studied at Liverpool Art School and Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1990. Recent exhibitions include Transmission Gallery, Glasgow (2004). There is something incredibly refreshing and vitalic in the new work by Swain. Deriving their material source from newsprint and magazines, Swain’s paintings have a strange air of familiarity. Seemingly random patterns are produced from a starting point as oblique as a shadow or colour on the newsprint. The final result being at times a surreal, fantastical landscape or a depiction of an intimate, but unrecognizable object.
