Homework for 11/29/22

Sketches Due 12/06/22
Finish Due 12/20/22

Use ANY and ALL of the techniques we have introduced over the semester, as needed,
to solve this illustration assignment. More ambitious treatments
and more successful solutions will be graded accordingly. Originality scores big.
Find a project that you can really wrap your head around. And then kill it.

Solid design. Interesting concept. Respect the "sketch" stage and get the gravel flying before the final stretch.
I want to have something I can sink my teeth into with the 1st round to be able to give feedback.

Remember that an illustration does not need to retell the story - or even potray the most notable scene within the story. Rather, an illustration is a snapshot of something evocative that might be found - or even just hinted at - within the arc of the storyline. It is intended to hint at the flavor and mood of the story while pulling the reader in and inviting them to discover how the image fits into the unfolding narrative.

Two page "complex" spread of an illustrated children's book re-telling of a Grimm's Fairy Tale.
The spread should be designed so that the artwork fills 2 pages and spills behind a block of text that will sit on the right-hand page. The size of each page will be 10 inches tall by 8 inches wide, offering a 16 x 10 inch spread.

Research:

Here are some links to collections of Grimm stories.
Notice that the original versions of many of these stories are not the cute,
sanitized versions that family-targeted Hallmark and Disney have portrayed.
You may decide to treat this as one form or the other - or something entirely different.
