help with creativity

[troyer16]

My girlfriend is taking a photography class and one of the assingments is to take a picture of a paper bag. Thats all the assingment is, basically to get the creative juices flowing. I think she said you can use different techniques such as emphasis. Any ideas please?

Don't you think its important for her to come up with her own a creative solution?

Check out some of these images
Though not paper bags heres some of Westons creative approach to common things.

Light it from the outside (left, right, top, front, back, etc.)
Light it from the inside
Light it with a candle, a flash light, the sun, the moon, etc.

Crumple it, tear it, cut holes in it, etc.

Put over the head of a nude. :)

Lots of ways to be creative. ;)
