For the FMP I chose to do fantasy and mythology, I wanted to do something that I am interested in,and I find the whole myths and legends facinating, especially the mythical creatures which is where I am going to go with this project. I am going to start by researching fanatsy, and move onto the mythilogical creatures, looking at some of the more common ones and eventually choosing one to do for my garment.
For the fantasy research I looked into films that have elements of fantasy in them.
This is a still from the film Dragonheart, this film contains a dragon a huge fantasy element and a mythical creature.
Another film I looked at is the film Willow, an old film that contains witches,wizards fairies and magic.
I looked at various artists that illustrate fantasy. Anne Stokes, Frank Frazetta and Philip Straub. These were my favourite artists/illustrators. I like Anne Stokes work a lot. I like the use of colour the images are very dramatic.
This artwork is The Mermaid
Some of Philip Straub's work, he uses bright and bold colours and thats what i'm going with for this project. Here's some of his work to show what I mean.
I also looked at photographers who shoot fantasy I looked at Eugenio Recuenco, he does more fairytale than fantasy, but I still liked his work, it's more the dark side of fairytales. Eugenio does other types of photoshoots but his fairytale photos fit my theme the best.
