Question:

As a project for Honors English class, I have to fuse a poem and an art piece.?

For my poem, I choose the song, San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair.) I've been looking and looking for and art piece to go with it. I tried searching for flower childern, hippies, and San Francisco. I couldn't find anything I liked. Does any one have any suggestions?

The song goes like this:
"If you're going to San Francisco/ Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair/ If you're going to San Francisco/ You're going to meet some gentle people there."

"For those who come to San Francisco/ Summertime will be a love-in there/ In the streets of San Francisco/ Gentle people with flowers in their hair."

"All across the nation such a strange vibration/ People in motion/ There's a whole generation with a new explantion/ People in motion, people in motion."

(Then it repeats the first verse.)

Please, Please help me. I'm desperate!!!

Hmmm...
I can't think of anything specific off the top of my head, but you could research art from the 60's and 70's, if you want to find something that will match the mood - or - you could choose something modern and dark, and go in an ironic direction with it.
