Story Proposal

_____________________________________

Reinterpret a classic folk tale or fairy tale through your own creative lens. 

STORY CONCEPT

Choose a classic story such as a children’s fairy tale or folk tale. Go to the library or bookstore and do some research. The story can be from any culture.

Public Domain Stories from eastoftheweb.com

Brainstorm different ways to reinterpret this story through your own unique lens. Try changing one or more of the main categories of story focus:

1. genre
2. cultural influence
3. mood
4. setting
5. update characters

Settle on a concept for your reinterpretation.

RESEARCH

Though you are interpreting the story through your own personal artistic lens, it must be informed by thorough research and reference.

Start by finding information on the setting: time period, culture, environment. Look for reference for staging as well. You’ll need props such as clothing, architecture, furniture, plants, or animals. All of this must be accurate and carefully researched in the final illustration.  You’ll also need to begin considering characters for your story update.  Start researching reference on this as well.

You will be required to shoot photo reference for this project.

This library is an ongoing part of the project. You will supply new research images as you accumulate them. Reference will be expected during each phase of the project.

You will submit your reference along with the final in your presentation

• a brief summary of your story
