After our presentation last week, I wrote some notes that where given to us about how we could develop the project further…? This included ….
- •Linking back to the rhyme: seen but not heard, perhaps consider exploring outside of fairytale, and research into women society (Women having no voice)
- •Maybe consider contacting performing art company's for model casting?...
These two images show the designs that we where hoping to achieve when planning and designing styles for our character. We want to replicate the designs of the 10th century, but re-creating the styles into a modern twist.
And When referring back to our chosen nursery rhyme, we all liked how the rhyme was not well known, and therefore as a group we had alot of different ideas we could portray from these simple structures such as the idea of being seen but not heard ( this notion is recorded from World War Two and the American poster which used the ending "Soldier.... be like that old bird!...Silence meaning security.")
But after carful thoughts and suggestions, we all began to run out of ideas and how we could progress further into something we all agreed on. After this discussion we thought it would be best to still include the theme of nursery rhymes, but perhaps explore several and consider how we can change these fairytale narrative into something more… perhaps thinking of similar ideas as the photographer Thomas Czarnecki. Looking into darker reality's, that is as much part of our common culture provided through imagery we see in entertainment and outside media. 
Careful thoughts...changing plan?
After our first tutorial, we all began researching into the contextual meaning of the rhymes, understanding each line to see if there was any significance that we could use in our own piece. Such meanings of these rhymes have changed over a period of time, along with social expectations. From the beginning we have looked at the From the work of Arthur Rackham. His work depicts a magical world, full of magical creatures, yet when analysing his photos there is a dark undertone. He takes the attitude of presenting a modern depiction of nursery rhymes; emphasizing characters in an eerie atmosphere, full of exaggerated lines and colouring.
