 This final image leads me onto my next topic of reseach. Though the artist behind this drawing is unknown its child-like style made me think about a childs perspective on war and death, especially because the lead characters in Hansel and Gretel are children. Children's views are best shown through their art  so I have researched into artwork post 9/11.

Pop- Up Books

This work has lead me into wanting to look at further children's art, this time I want to look at art aimed at children rather than by them. For this I have looked at a pop up book entitled;

 'Alice in (pop up) wonderland' by J. Otto Seibold.

  Below are some images from the book;

 

Because of the links of the play to childhood, I may decide to design the set as though it were a pop up book with a lot of the set and props looking very flat and 2 dimensional particularly inside the witches house as I feel it is necessary for it to look quite staged anyway.
