6. Unit 5-Proposal
My Idea is combining words with illustration , influenced from the images prior (I1- illustrating on words ),(I2 work produced from stories influence),(I3- words /letters)
I want to experiment with interpreting text and turning it into illustration, E.g taking passages form books, quotes, poetry.. And creating a image to match this.
This could have the potential to progress into 1. video through speaking written passages 2. installations of words 3. book cover illustrations, 4. side by side imagery of the words and their counterpart created through illustration (potentially photographed)

7. Examples:
“They came to another grove of trees, where all the leaves were of gold; and afterwards to a third, where the leaves were all glittering diamonds. And the soldier broke a branch from each; and every time there was a loud noise, which made the youngest sister tremble with fear. But the eldest still said it was only the princes, who were crying for joy. They went on till they came to a great lake; and at the side of the lake there lay twelve little boats with twelve handsome princes in them, who seemed to be waiting there for the princesses.”
