Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Art Piece

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, a song by The Beatles, has very odd imagery and lyrics. John Lennon, the Beatle who wrote the song, said that his inspiration for the song came from a picture his son drew. I decided to create an art piece with my interpretation of the imagery in the song. I used a combination of watercolor, drawing, collage, and 3d objects to create a multimedia piece that I feel represents the different elements of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. When listening to the song, the lyrics and melody create a world of fantasy, so I used an imaginative and child-like artistic approach to try and portray that world. Some of the imagery in the song, for example, "newspaper taxis" and "a girl with kaleidoscope eyes" I created using collage. The "tangerine trees" and "cellophane flowers of yellow and green" I drew, and the river and "marmalade skies" I painted. Even though the song only mentions "a boat on a river", I decided to put The Beatles in the boat because I felt like they should be represented in the piece.
