...what work i can do? Please help!!
thx to anyone who does x :D
Thank you to anyone that has commented, it has helped me so much :D x
 
dont do anything crappy and cliche like sport LOL no offense...

when i did this for A level art, only 2 people got full marks (me and my friend) for doing movement at ... well... the expected level.
you should be thinking about movement over time!
movement through space!
how to capture/record movement!

be super creative.
movement over time - mar. duchamp descending down a staircase... pretty typical but you get the idea.
david hockney - swimming pool shots
COMPARE THESE TWO ARTISTS : duchamps technique/technology in comparison to david hockney! obviously hockney had a camera so his was accurate in terms of reality but duchamps has more atmosphere and motion

recording movement:
using a camera?
using a pencil and following a person around the room, trying to trace their figure at the same time?
making a paper doormat for the floor and recording peoples footmarks all over it? or checkout youtubes vibration sand.
heck you could even decide to draw on a bus to get a wonky feeling :p

movement through space: (a little more psychological i reckon)
how does the eye travel from one place to another?
i made this huge ass abstract board on the wall with glazes/paints but the purpose behind it was to see where people looked first, then looked next... etc...
in that way its sort of like.. the movement of the observer :)


or you could do what this other girl did and make lots of spinning wheels.
 
Like ideas for what to draw for it?
Basically any sport or physical activity, find one that you're really interested in, that way you'll be more motivated to work on it.
Movement is a pretty wide topic, basically anyone doing anything could constitute movement, ie walking jumping etc
 
a marathon runner
niagra falls
ballroom dancers
ballet dancers
free runners
 
i think of time- clocks- clock face- or look up an artist called giacomo balla, a leader of the futurist movement- a movement that aimed to convey a sense of speed through the medium of art, He might give you some inspiration! Good luck with your project x
