How Do I Get Project Ideas?

People sometimes ask me how I get ideas for a new project.  Some ideas come from other Art room web sites and I change them as needed to fit my goals for the lesson. I also use art project books or other  printed resources. And sometimes, I just see something that sparks my idea for a new project!

Here is an example of how I came up with the new Kindergarten project we just started today.

Old Poster I found in my room,
