Using mixed media- painting and photography?

I have an art project for school that I’m currently working on, and I’m doing some research and deciding on what media I should use at the moment.
I really enjoy painting, and photography. I want to mix both of them together to create an art work…but I’m not sure how.

Perhaps do the portrait in half photograph, have painting, collaging the elements of each of them together. In other words, take a great photo and print it out very large, the size of the finished piece. Then tear it up.

Next, paint the portrait of the same person. Or if you want to be a bit cutting edge, make it the painting of a different person of the opposite sex who looks similar to the person in the photo. Cut that up, too.

In the next stage, you collage the torn parts of each portrait to make a new person, or if using the same person, make it the collage of just that person. Do not trim the edges, or make the pieces fit well together. If you need more ideas contact me through my profile here at Yahoo! Answers.
