Short Story Illustrations

For our first project, we are going to create an illustration based off of a short story or movie.
But there is a catch!!
The illustration will need to show a different character's perspective.
For example, the story I chose was Jack and the Beanstalk so I am creating an illustration from the Giant's perspective (see sketch below)

Illustrations can be drawn traditionally OR it can be done using Illustrator.
Materials used will be entirely up to you; Pen & Ink, Watercolor, Marker, etc.
Below is another example of a sketch illustrating a Japanese Fable and the finalized pen illustration.

FACE PAINTING & COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY

As many of you already know FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12TH is MIDDLETOWN'S PEP RALLY!
Some of our student athlete's have been invited to go to the elementary school's during the first half of the day to show the youngsters school spirit. WE, the Middletown National Art Honor Society will face paint our student athletes so they are jazzed up for the elementary schools and our pep rally. Face painting is BEFORE school so you will need to be at MHS by 7:00 AM sharp.
This is a great opportunity to bang out 1 hour of community service & show your school spirit.
We are keeping the face painting simple - paw print, block letter M, and eyebrow dots.
Please let Mendola know if you are coming so paint can be set up accordingly.

The projects we do here are designed to either help build your portfolio or teach you enough skills and techniques for you to create more artwork on your own. We will also have representatives from colleges come speak to us, we will do fundraisers, and participate in community service events to show the world that the art field is just as important as any other field available.
