Found some pieces I have done in the past that I thought might inspire you guys!
The first piece I thought was fun and creative! I took scrap booking paper in various colours I wished to work in and began tearing them in no particular shape or order. I then took a small canvas board I had no use for and began gluing the paper onto it, creating a collage look. After some drying time I took acrylic paint (black) and began painting 2 free hand lines, then added in birds in different positions. I call this piece "birds on a wire" and I enjoy it as it is more free flowing and you are able to paint anything you want on the papers you have stuck to your canvas. 
I painted this for an Art history assignment we had been assigned to do. The criteria was to take a piece of pop art and create a non-representational recreation. I chose to do Andy Warhol's silkscreen of Marilyn Monroe. (as seen below) I was inspired by the way Warhol expressed himself through colour and media. I used similar colours and just let the paintbrush slide freely around the card stock creating an abstract version of Monroe. I titled this piece "My Marilyn" and in case you were wondering it was a success through the evaluation of my teacher & peers!
