The Beatles songs have beautiful lyrics that has connected with people for multiple generations. I believe everyone has their own way to relate to their lyrics. In this piece, I have chosen some of the lyrics that have moved me and used specific colors to depict The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road picture.

Something that always stuck with me about the Beatles, besides their music obviously, was their unique visuals. I remember as a kid I loved their album artwork for all of their albums, and how creative they were with everything they did. For my final project, I decided I want to combine two things they were known for outside of their music: their strong artistic visuals and fashion.

It became very clear while learning about the Beatles this semester is that the group truly were themselves while creating in the studio. This is an image of the group recording and I recreated the feel of that room.

The original framed collage was a birthday present when I was a huge Beatles fan in the sixth grade.
I decided to use this collage to contrast how I viewed the Beatles and how I consumed their music when I was younger and how that's evolved, as well as how their sound evolved as their career progressed.
I focused on how their songs began to be influenced by their drug use. Some of their songs with drug-influenced lyrics are featured in the painting.
