School Art Project

After getting my F10's to do some research, each one read a couple of H.C.Andersen's fairy tales and managed to choose a couple idea/sentences.

Now I was really amazed, as these teenagers and I put up a blog, and the results have been quite unexpected. Not all of them have put up their Frank Miller experiments but their are a few, and looking good.

The Final piece is a couple of weeks away. But the stories that can be found there are tales such as, The Little Mermaid, The Metal Pig, The Emporor's New Clothes, The Wicked Prince and other Andersen Tales. Just check the link of wicked-art-work.

H.C.Andersen Fairy Tales in Frank Miller style

Since I teach a class of F10’s, I decided to put them up for a challenge. The idea isn’t new, I had already done this a couple of years ago, and it came out quite well.

At the time, when it was done, the students had only one story, entitled The Wicked Prince by Hans Christian Andersen. The Tale is about a Mighty Prince that ends up defying the church and God himself.

There’s a scene where the prince builds a ship with canons and it’s risen in to the sky pulled by eagles to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They fire upon an angel but the bullets rebound and the angel lets a drop of blood fall on the ship.

This drags down the ship as the blood is of hundreds of weights. The prince almost perished in the event but was intent to defy the Lord.

The end of the tale is quite humorous and the Prince is defeated. In this Art project, they get to choose a story, and select a description that may visually appeal to them for their Interpretational study.

This project will have an outcome in about six weeks or so. Let’s see what happens
