E.Q.: What is most significant when investigating a person's death?

Idea:
Well, my idea for this project is for sure going to be a visual art. I am in between a painting that has like 3-D things coming out of it, made of recycled things or things I find around the house. I was also thinking of making a sculpture made out of paper mache and some clay.  They will both be of an aspect of an autopsy or something with the human body. I may do the whole body or just a certain part of the autopsy like the brain part. It might be a little gross to look at, but it's ok. I was also thinking of mixing some like a painting and a photograph. I most likely will not do this one, but we shall see what happens. I was thinking of getting the left over cow blood that I have and Painting with it. Then when that painting is done I was going to use some of the Luminol I had left over and spray it on so that it can glow and the painting will glow in the dark. I would need to take pictures of this because I do not want to hang a canvas with blood on it in the class rooms. That would really gross people out. So just taking photos of it may work.

How does it relate?: 
The paining and the sculpture of the human body relate to my essential question because one of the most inportant aspects of an investigation is the Autopsy. The autopsy allows the body of the victim to speak to the Pathologist in ways that other people do not understand and it gives evidence for the case.
