Today I went to the 8 x8 book event. I was asked a question by one of the writers of the stories featured it it.

Sleeping Handsome Storyboard

I decided that I would base my project on sleeping beauty but in a role reversal so it would be a prince that fell asleep instead of a princess and the princess would rescue him.

Self Directed Project

First I read Marina Warner's 'No Go the Bogeyman'. From this I collected research images of monsters mentioned in this book. I then decided to focus on the idea of Gender Roles in fairytales. This was an aspect of Marina Warner's 'No Go the Bogeyman' that I picked up on.
