Okay, so I’m 14, gonna be 15 in a little less than 4 months. I need to make some $. i am seriously broke and i have like no summer clothes right now that fit and my style has changed since last summer. I wanna get enough $ to be able to go and buy some new clothes for next year and i want to go shopping at places like discovery, new york and company, charlotte russe, and forever 21. i live on a street where like no one comes buy so i cant like put out my art and hope for some ppl to com by and buy some. I am also willing to go and o other stuff but idk if i can get a job around here besides where one of my best friends works but that isn’t enough pay for me cuz i barely ever go w/ her there. is there anywhere near Algonquin, crystal lake, Dundee, Lake in the Hills, Carpentersville in Illinois that i could get a job after i get a job permit at the village hall? any suggestions of places that are hiring around zip code 60156? or how i can get my artwork known so i can sell more of them?? please and thank you!

Paper bag art ideas…?

So tomorrow I have this interview for some summer program and I need to do a project using a paper bag.
Guidelines:
•The paper bag can be lunch or supermarket size, but you may only use one.
•Additionally, you may use glue and/or tape to hold your piece together.
•The object of the assignment is to transform an everyday object into something new and unexpected.
•Consider the types of tools you can use: scissors, Exacto blades, your hands, rulers, hole punchers, even water!
•This artwork can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional. However, you may NOT apply colors or use pencil etc. to draw on the bag, so it may be best create something that is unlike a picture.
•Your artwork must be an original abstract creation, NOT a representational form like a person, dog, house, plane, etc.

I want something kinda simple and not too time-consuming or complicated to do. I don’t usually do [or like] abstract art, which is why I’m having trouble with it.
Any good ideas?
