Traditional Tales

Beauty and The Beast

In English, we have been learning about Traditional Tales. We were able to read and watch tales of our own choice. I did fairy tales, I chose Beauty and The Beast and also The Little Mermaid. I chose to do a static image for these 2 fairy tales. One of my groupmates did Greek Mythology and they made a static image of Medusa. Their story was about Medusa & Perseus.

The Little Mermaid

Before I chose these 2 tales I read 2 books full of fairy tales and chose out of them. I did Beauty and The Beast because I really like it. I really like the idea of using a rose as a connection to a human and a beast. I chose The Little Mermaid because I learned that if you really like/love someone then you would do anything for them. In Ariel's case, she sacrificed her voice for the person she loves.





Beauty and The Beast:

Beauty and The Beast is a fairy tale about a girl named Belle and a prince who was under a curse. The prince was under a curse because of his rudeness. The witch that cast a spell on him said he would be under the curse until he learned how to love someone and the person he loved learned how to love him and he had a time limit, a rose symbolized this time limit. Once the last petal falls the prince will be stuck as a beast forever. Belle stumbled at his palace because she got lost looking for her father. The beast offered her food and warmth. Belle stayed at the palace for quite a while and she started to get feelings for the beast, and the beast also started to get feelings for her. They were happy until one day a group of town's people invaded the beast's palace and a guy from the town took Belle away and stabbed the beast. Something tragic happened to the guy and Belle ran to the beast, she cried and cried as the last petal falls. Her tears fell onto the beast's wound and something happened, a light started and the beast was no longer a beast, he was now the prince that was once under a curse. The prince and Belle all lived happily ever after.

The Little Mermaid:

The Little Mermaid

Ariel was a mermaid that likes to go on adventures. One day while she was on an adventure a ship came by, the ship caught on fire and a prince that was on the ship fell into the water. Ariel saved him and brought him to land. The prince woke up to Ariel's face, Ariel quickly ran away and that's when the prince searched for her. Ariel caught feelings for Prince Eric and she wanted to be with him. An evil sea witch made a deal with her, the deal was in exchange for legs she will give the witch her voice. Ariel agreed to the deal because she really loves the prince. The prince and Ariel fell deeper in love and was soon to be married. The evil sea witch turned into Ariel and locked the real Ariel somewhere. The real Ariel escaped and stopped the sea witch in the form of her from marrying the prince. The sea witch was punished and Prince Eric and Ariel all lived happily ever after.

Making:

In order to make the static image of Beauty and The Beast, I searched up a drawing of it on Google. I originally only copied the girl but drew the rose on my own without copying it from the Internet. I used a picture as a guide for the colours I can use to colour my image. A group mate helped me with my work and made me a rose out of clay. They used red, brown and green to make the rose. 

I did the same thing for the Ariel drawing I drew. But the Ariel drawing is a bit simpler than the Beauty and The Beast's one. I drew Ariel's face and shoulders but didn't draw her whole body. I only needed to use 3 colours for my Ariel drawing but I had to use a lot of different colours for my Beauty and The Beast drawing.
