MATERIALS:

 Use one of the medias that we have used during class, charcoal, pencil etc.

Find modern day objects to group into a still life that will represent an ancient or classical fairytale, myth or legend.

  You may:
Use photographs
feature pictures within pictures

   Please:

Do not present unfinished work

This is your opportunity to really put some time into a drawing, making it sing but be conscious that there can also be a tendency to overwork a drawing. Make sure you are communicating the subject well, that you are maintaining contrast and objectivity.

Have FUN!
