I have a project over immigration, and what should i make for the art part of it? I want something creative, not just a model with the U.S. and Mexican border with people crawling over the fence. Can anyone help? I'm not creative at all. =[

Well you could show different ways people immigrate to America, boat, train, etc. That would be really cool. You draw/make an ocean, and then make a boat, then you can have land and people running up it. Or, I don't know what your thought of art is but drama is an art, maybe you could do a little skit about immigration. I hope this gives you a jump start on creativity, and I'm sure your very creative, you've just got to take the time to think about it and make it your own, whether or not you use one of my ideas, that's up to you. No matter who's idea you pick in the answers before and after mine (if any) it will be your own creativeness that is put into your project, because it's your interpretation on what it looks like and we may have a different one. Every ones creative in there own little way so don't put yourself down. Good Luck!

How about a scrapbook. Make it about one person's emigration-find some old photos and paste them in the book and then go to the Ellis Island site and use some of the photos of the ships and the lines and copies of passports the old houses in NY where a lot of the immigrants lived. Google Ellis Island (images) and you should get a lot of photos. Copy them from the sites and start gluing your story.

What about a collage of photos: from early Ellis Island, of people on an early refugee boat coming to America, of newly eligible immigrants swearing the Oath of Allegiance for the first time, of hope on the faces of newcomers, of some people praying for deliverance out of their war torn countries.
You can get pictures from the internet about this things I think.
Good luck.

Yeah, immigrants don't only come from Mexico. It was popular during the depression in the 30s. People came from all over the world. Why don't you illustrate that?

How about a ship with the statue of liberty and Ellis island.
