He shows his knowledge of traditional Russian clothing through his designs for each of the characters, linking the important cultural background behind the tales. He was influential in the revival of Russian folk art at the time, even sponsored by Princess Maria Tenisheva, helping to preserve this cultural heritage. Bilibin's illustrations are almost intrinsically linked with the stories he illustrated for, searching for most of these tales will show them in the first few results; they have become iconic depictions of these fairy tales. Bilibin was also a member of the Mir iskusstva ('world of art') movement and associated magazine, which kept him in touch with contemporaries across Europe, and was where he also developed his interest in Russian folk arts, introducing it to his colleagues.
Stylistically his work tends towards realism, but has a more graphical feel with simplified lines and flatter, brighter colour with little shading or blending. His scenes tend to be 'realistic' too, though depicting fantastical elements from the tales such as the witch Baba Yaga flying on her pestle and mortar, but not adhering strictly to realistic scenes as shown in his 'Fairytale of the Tsar Sultan' illustration with the city in the background, or the blocked out rays of light in one of his firebird illustrations.
These aspects of his style are quite consistent with the movement he took much inspiration from while studying, Art Nouveau - which was flourishing between 1890-1910 when Bilibin was active and mixing with his contemporaries throughout Europe during his studies. The very ornamental nature of Art Nouveau is seen in his work, particularly in his more elaborate forest backgrounds and decorative patterns.]]> 2021-04-14 05:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415068251 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415076822 2021-04-14 05:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415076822 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415079230 sources:

'Japonisme', a term coined by French art critic Philippe Burty, describes the popularity and great influence that Japanese art had on Europe at the time, inspiring flattening of style, bold shapes, bright colours in simplified schemes, and an emphasis on nature. Bilibin being well connected to the contemporary art world in Europe was also influenced by this.
Bilibin mostly worked in lithography (for reproduction in books), pencil, watercolour, ink and gouache, using these with detailed brushwork to achieve realistic and complex illustrations. He often lined areas with a very thin brush in a darker colour in a way that is again reminiscent of ukiyo-e prints.
Lubok printing was another print style that influenced Bilibin, a traditional form of printing in Russia usually depicting simple imagery and narratives from literature and religious stories. The graphical shapes often included in his borders often resemble those from lubok prints, and traditional Russian cross stitch. ]]> 2021-04-14 05:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415081116 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415081902 2021-04-14 05:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415081902 Illustration from 'The Tale of Tsar Saltan' rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415083165 2021-04-14 05:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415083165 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415086048 2021-04-14 05:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415086048 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415086469 2021-04-14 05:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415086469 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415087165 2021-04-14 05:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415087165 Aizuru of the Ebiya, from the series Amusements of the Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415088150 Kikugawa Eizan, Edo Period

They give a very unique finish, framing the piece like a snapshot or still frame of a scene that is playing out, placing the viewer outside the image looking in as if through a window which emphasises the fantastical and otherworldly nature of the fairy tales. The patterns and imagery depicted in the borders can also relate and add to the story being told, and I like how they are inspired by different cultural techniques and patterns which adds a more traditional visual style to the traditional tale, balancing out the more modern Art Nouveau style. Since they're like repeating sections of pattern, I wonder if I could incorporate them into prints, perhaps with small sections of lino cuts that could be reused over and over, ordered in different ways.
- I also like how his works are laid out, containing a clear foreground and background that the characters move through - for example, they may be partially obscured by branches in the forest, helping to place them within the scene. He also has a clear focal point that he establishes through use of contrasting colours and creating a more detailed background so that say a less detailed character would then stand out. ]]> 2021-04-14 06:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415127230 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415129385 2021-04-14 06:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415129385 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415129983 - The title illustration of 'Vasilisa the Beautiful' is one work I particularly like - the silhouette of Baba Yaga flying across the darkening sky (reminding me a bit of Jan Pienkowski's silhouetted illustrations) gives a hint of the narrative, feeling slightly intimidating, and sets up that she is an evil figure within the story without introducing her fully - keeping a bit of an air of mystery that is very fitting for a title illustration. The bordering crows are a pattern seen in other works by Bilibin, and add a bit of meaning with their association with death and as a bad omen. I particularly like the incorporation of the Alkonost character, I would think to balance the gloomy imagery above it with some symbolism of youth, joy and beauty, bringing us back to the character of Vasilisa - they are both after all placed directly next to her name in the title.]]> 2021-04-14 06:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415129983 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415130906 - Though I think he often uses colour effectively, especially different hues of green and brown for forests, I don't always like his overall colour palette choices. For example, though I really like the composition of the second version of his 'Ivan Tsarevich and the Firebird' illustration (which is why I chose it to do some studies of parts of, along with that it's bit more simple), being more clearly laid out, and longer vertically so the bird has room to spread out and flourish comparative to the first version that looks a little squashed in, that first one has a better colour choice in my opinion - the yellows and pale purple next to a mid tone green look washed out and too flat, where the red and darker greens of the first one are very natural and have more depth. I also don't particularly like the border colour on 'Red Rider', dull beige-brown that I feel doesn't compliment the main illustration, or the too saturated blue and green background of the 'Fairytale of the Tsar Saltan' illustration that looks a bit cartoonish next to the detail of the mostly red foreground. Despite the less saturated colours in ‘Baba Yaga,' this I feel just adds to the moody and slightly scary feel of the piece, fitting for the character of the witch.]]> 2021-04-14 06:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415130906 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415133045 2021-04-14 06:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415133045 Title Illustration for "Vasilisa the Beautiful" rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1415133919 1899
This illustration shows the Alkonost, a creature from Slavic mythology that is half woman half bird and whose beautiful singing can lure people in. It is counterpart to the sadly singing Sirin, and takes the Sirin's place in order to sing joyfully and laugh, able to grant healing power to the fruits of the tree it sits on.

He studied art and specialised in printmaking in university.
Ryan has also both written and illustrated several of his own books, including children's books and fairy tales.]]> 2021-05-12 10:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516884874 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516885629 Ryan is best known for his papercuts, which mix text, pattern and silhouette in each piece.

One of the most unique aspects of Ryan's work in my opinion is how he incorporates text, sometimes single sentences, sometimes many paragraphs in a way that is complemented thematically by the illustration and pattern. This text may be large and easy to read, while other times it might be very small so that the viewer has to search for it within the piece. I think both ways are quite effective for different purposes - it can either be punchy and immediate, or prompt closer examination of all of the tiny details.

Often Ryan uses themes of love, connectivity, and emotion.
The text addresses more abstract concepts in quite a philosophical way, with a sometimes wistful but optimistic tone commenting on relationships, life, and the world around us. It can be slightly rambling, reading like a train of thought with questions and unclear answers. In a way, he also criticises society today, where people may not stop to think about the bigger picture, or don't have time to do that or spend with their loved ones as much as they would like due to pressure to keep working and not take time away for these things.

There are several motifs that are common within Ryan's work, particularly nature (trees, flowers, leaves etc), birds, stars and couples. The style and imagery contained within Ryan's work gives it a very whimsical, calm feeling, which goes well with the positive messages often contained in the text. ]]> 2021-05-12 10:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516885629 ROB RYAN rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516886025 (b.1962)]]> 2021-05-12 10:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516886025 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1516887933 sources:

It's in traditional Russian style and designed to look like Baba Yaga's hut.
Inspired Mussorgsky's music from 'Pictures at an Exhibition'.
I like the intricate traditional patterns, and I think it's very interesting and unique combination to choose to make a clock inspired by a fairy tale.

I like the rough ink lines that give a sense of motion, and vibrancy of colour here. The entire image is very warm toned, even the grass is almost yellow which helps show the light the horseman is giving off.

The stars and little splatters on the green remind me of glitter despite only being watercolour, making the image very magical.

I like how aspects of the story are painted onto the surface of the figure, for example the doll is on her chest, Baba Yaga on the front of her skirt, and the tiled pattern is reminiscent of the hut's roof.

I like how there is the main scene on the top, then other images of the horsemen, the hut and Baba Yaga on the outside, and the doll on the inside of the lid. It utilises the fact of being painted on a cylindrical box very well, the horses seeming to run in circles around it.

Absence of a border can also emphasise the fragility of the medium, and is often seen in Ryan's pieces that have lots of little interwoven strands of flowers and plants, giving me the impression of growth unconstrained by a frame.

Colour isn't a big focus of Ryan's work - most of his papercut pieces are monochromatic, and different works with the same text and theme may have a different colour, so I don't feel the colour is particularly central to each piece. He generally uses a singular saturated or dark colour that contrasts well with a white background to make details clear and easy to see.
A few of his works do use tone very carefully, usually to show the night sky - the many tiny cut out stars create the same kind of illusion of grey from the black or dark blue on white that cross hatching with pen would. These works of his are ones I especially like, they remind me of the real night sky that isn't one blank plane but has small variations or sections of clouds that give it depth.

Ryan also produces screen printed works in the same style as his papercuts, showing that style is not restricted to one medium or technique and can be adapted to many ways of working. In fact, though papercuts are his best known work now he describes how he began with screen printing and the process of trying to simplify his work with paper stencils lead him to develop his current methods.]]> 2021-06-03 05:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1581670654 Themes rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1583770265 Inner beauty - Vasilisa is shown to be beautiful both inside and out. She is compared to her stepmother and stepsisters, who become ugly as they are jealous and spiteful, while Vasilisa's positive traits are what make her beautiful.
Asking for help - When she encounters a situation that is impossible for her to handle on her own, Vasilisa asks the doll for help. However, she still intends to do some of the chores herself - showing that it's important to work hard, but be humble enough to ask for help when you need to.
Light triumphs over dark - at the end of the story, the light from the magical skull burns Vasilisa's stepmother and stepsisters. This light that they sent her to fetch with ill intent ends up backfiring on them and causing their own demise. Light wins in the end, in both the literal and metaphorical sense.]]> 2021-06-03 21:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1583770265 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1583845340 source: https://thefairytalecentral.com/exploring-the-morals-of-vasilisa-the-beautiful/]]> 2021-06-03 22:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1583845340 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585620186 Looking at the intricacy of his work reminds me of lace, which adds to the very traditional, old aesthetic.]]> 2021-06-04 15:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585620186 The Buried Moon rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585624604 The Buried Moon is an English fairy tale included by Joseph Jacobs in his 1893 book 'More English Fairy Tales', originally told by Marie Balfour from Lincolnshire as a local story. It is set in the marshland of Northern England, and is about a girl who is the personification of the moon and how her light keeps away the dangerous creatures in the dark bogs, until one day helping a villager she becomes stuck in the bog. She is then rescued by the villagers who cannot safely navigate the bog without her light.
The history of the tale is unclear but it may come from forms of moon worship. ]]> 2021-06-04 15:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585624604 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585626184 sources:

It is untraditional in the way that the moon is not a hero on a quest, but simply helping a man get home safely, and is in turn rescued by the villagers who are grateful to her. She is shown to be kind and brave to sacrifice her freedom to help someone, and is so a character with good morals.
The moon is not an 'unlikely hero', and doesn't fit into the roles of a princess, or a peasant girl, or a witch, but is wholly her own character. She also returns to her place at the end of the story and doesn't really interact with any of the other characters, certainly not getting married which is a common trope.
The moon as a personified character is a unique choice, and her role reflects the reassurance we get from moonlight at night.]]> 2021-06-04 16:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585626780 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585627419 source:

I like the thin lines and amount of detail, they help give a magical floaty feeling to the moon's cloak, and movement to the earth of the bog beneath. However I feel that it lacks tonal contrast which I don't like, since the light of the moon and the danger of the dark is the most central part of the story.

I like the use of hatching and solid black spaces, it makes the bog feel overgrown and cluttered with plants, and gives texture to the tree and the moon's hair (along with being easy to print on the inside of a book)

I like how she has used to moon as a plain backdrop to place the text on, and her designs for the creatures hidden under the ground where the villagers can't see them, it makes them feel more sinister.
A book cover is something I could potentially do for a final outcome as they're integral to the book versions of fairy tales.

Walker frequently uses techniques and editing that distort his photos to add to their surreal feeling, including double exposure and fisheye/wide-angle lenses.

All of these components come together to make Walker's work seem like it belongs in another fairy tale-like world,

For example, his 2019 W magazine shoot is loosely egg themed - featuring large rubbery costumes with huge egg shapes, superimposed images of eggs, and eggs smashed on the floor with a badminton net and racket-wielding models (suggesting narrative within this one image that they played badminton with those eggs).This all serves to paint a picture of a very odd egg themed world. These photos somehow make both more and less sense to me when seen together - I first saw the egg costumes photo, but it only clicked that those white 'balloons' were eggs once seeing the rest of the images, which answered one question but created many many others.
Within this series a distorting wide-angle lens adds even more roundness to some of the pictures, creating a consistency of shape - eggs are round, yolks are round, the costumes & clothing are round, so why not make the images a bit round too.
The double exposure editing with giant cracked eggs also creates a surreal contrast to the much smaller models.]]> 2021-06-04 16:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585640483 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585640906 source:

He studied photography at Exeter College of Art and was an assistant to photographer Richard Avedon.

Models in his shoots are often dressed in Haute Couture; Walker first shot for Vogue magazine at 25 and his work is very heavily influenced by fashion, particularly avant-garde styles that can be quite bizarre and would look out of place in daily life, but seem at home within his extravagant sets.
Walker also frequently works with famous models and celebrities, sometimes for more simple portraits but other times starring in his strange sets.]]> 2021-06-04 16:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585720750 TIM WALKER rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585721549 (b. 1970)]]> 2021-06-04 16:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585721549 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585741156 In 2018 Tim Walker shot the Alice in Wonderland themed Pirelli calendar, in collaboration with Vogue editor and stylist Edward Enninful. The calendar's main goal was to bring diversity to fairy tales and the fashion world, so exclusively starred black models.
Alice in Wonderland is definitely the fairy tale that comes to mind for most people when you think surreal, so it fits Walker's work well, and he again uses distorting angles and camera lenses to create a surreal look.
The models are dressed as characters from the story and both the costumes and the sets feature elements from the tale like playing cards and the bottle Alice drinks from.]]> 2021-06-04 16:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585741156 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585742625 2021-06-04 16:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585742625 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585743313 Margot Robbie

She studied illustration at Brighton University and the Royal College of Art. Dyson works both digitally and with papercut collage.
A frequent subject of Dyson's work is the landscapes of Stroud, Gloucestershire where she lives. She takes inspiration from her love of the natural world and combines it with the magical fantasy of fairy tales - while walking in the countryside she imagines that you could meet any kind of creatures like fairies or trolls, and this is the focus of her illustration. ]]> 2021-06-04 16:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585773853 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585776800 sources:

This technique is adapted from Dyson's collage work, where she paints similar textures onto paper and cuts them into shapes that are then recombined to form the illustration. Dyson most often uses this to create animals where the natural edges of the paper help to break up the image into pieces like chunks of fur, or ridged scales, adding a subtle depth to the collage that gives the pieces the kind of 3D presence that these shapes would have in real life.
Another thing I particularly like about these collages is that there is a huge amount of variety in the texture from a few very simple techniques. Dyson allows the brush bristles to be the star of the show, layering them in various colours and amount of paint. This is the first layer of texture. The cut edges are then a mix of smooth and choppy, building up the texture in a different dimension.
In my opinion, the simplicity and uniformity in terms of how the paper is painted onto allows the collage to come together so well at the end, balancing complexity so that it doesn't become too cluttered. I think if she were to incorporate many different methods of painting the paper into these pieces, the number of pieces would have to be less to maintain that balance, and so losing some of that depth that the layering provides.]]> 2021-06-04 16:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585785163 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585792825 2021-06-04 17:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585792825 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585793507 Rio

I think they come across this way because of how much influence she takes from her own local area, the nature has a strong British
She draws from British folklore, illustrating creatures like fairies, giants and witches. Many British fairy tale creatures are strongly associated with nature.
Dyson has also produced several illustrations of more obscure local myths accompanied by text, intended to get people interested in some lesser known tales.
When drawing any creature from stories like fairy tales where there is no one true 'correct' design, the artist has to design their take on it. Dyson's designs have a generally fun, quite cute aesthetic which suits her style and approach to the stories as something to be enjoyed, as opposed to some takes which might have a darker interpretation. While I wouldn't say her designs are particularly innovative, they are definitely effective in conveying both mood and story.]]> 2021-06-04 17:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585797041 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585798439 2021-06-04 17:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585798439 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585799509 Local myths 1

They're also deceptively simple - again, she uses broad brush stroke textures to suggest detail and texture rather than rendering it all in. I really enjoy how she hides little details in them too, such as the creature in the woods in 'Sunset in Field', which I didn't notice at first. It made me go back and look at some of her other pieces more closely, and while not all of them have things to notice hidden in them, I did always find some little unique bit of foliage or a particularly nice branch, which goes to show how effectively she pieces the composition together that more can be found in fairly simple works. It reminds me of going out for a walk and taking the time to notice small details like that in person, which is always a great way to appreciate nature more.]]> 2021-06-04 17:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585807315 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585808657 2021-06-04 17:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585808657 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585809157 Sunset in field

Pienkowski is best known for illustrating the 'Meg & Mog' series by Helen Nicoll, pop up books and vibrant silhouetted scenes from fairy tales.
Pienkowski did not study art but began a greeting cards company after leaving university, illustrating children's books in his spare time, having drawn and made paper cuts as a hobby for his whole life. Eventually it became his main job, and he began working with authors like Joan Aiken and Helen Nicoll in the late 1960s. ]]> 2021-06-04 17:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585813497 JAN PIENKOWSKI rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585813756 (b.1936)]]> 2021-06-04 17:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585813756 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585815611 source:

The amount of detail that Pienkowski includes in these silhouettes means that the story can be told very clearly - they're easy to identify,
It also means there's an element of curiosity, the reader can think about and come up with things like colours or patterns of clothing on their own, giving them freedom rather than restricting their imagination as they read, something which is a key aspect of fairy tales.

To make his silhouettes, Pienkowski has used both paper cuts covered in black printing ink, and digital processes. He has said in interviews that he was brought up with paper cuts in Poland, which served as inspiration for him, and later use of computer techniques allowed him to make much more detailed illustrations.

The primary technique used by Pienkowski for his backgrounds is marbling with inks, where ink is poured and suspended on the surface of thickened liquid and paper is swiped over it to pick up the ink.
This method allows Pienkowski to achieve very vibrant colours and lots of variation of shape and texture, which I think well complements his simplistic black silhouettes, each making the other 'pop'. The bright swirls of colour also give a very magical effect which suits fairy tales well.]]> 2021-06-04 17:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585828109 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585828963 sources:

I like this approach of taking his character silhouettes and making them simplified to fit directly alongside the story where a larger more complex image would be out of place.
One of his illustrations from Hansel and Gretel also has its own vignette, which spreads across the page as if the silhouettes are reaching out.
The layered laser-cut scene depicting the ending of 'the Nutcracker' also has a very decorative vignette that is the same as the one on the page opposite apart from the snowflakes that spill out from the illustration, making it stand out. The silhouette itself here is also in white, which gives a very different feeling that is more positive and happy compared to the black silhouettes which can be intimidating and scary like a shadow cast onto a wall. It also matches the setting of the scene in winter.]]> 2021-06-04 17:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585835196 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585837205 2021-06-04 17:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585837205 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585837637 Illustrations from 'the Nutcracker'

For example, the layers of thinned ink in this illustration for 'A Necklace of Raindrops' builds up bright greens and gives the impression of lots of thick foliage. The splatters across the sky and water also give subtle detail and texture the paper to make it less plain, which I enjoy.

In his mini pop up books, like 'Dinner Time', Pienkowski uses gradients of washed out ink layered with splotches that are blown with air while still wet, causing the ink to flow outwards in a burst, to create the textures of fur and feathers.

I would like to explore these ink techniques and try incorporating them into my own work.]]> 2021-06-04 17:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585839872 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585841360 2021-06-04 17:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585841360 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1585841939 Illustration from 'A Necklace of Raindrops' by Joan Aitken

In this story the youngest daughter of a poor man marries a white bear in return for her family becoming rich. The girl is taken to a magical castle where she lives alone by day and is joined at night by the bear, who takes a human form though she never sees him. She becomes lonely and despite the bear's warning, speaks to her mother who tells her to light a candle at night to see his face. She does so but spills melted tallow on him and wakes him; he reveals he has been cursed by his stepmother and was almost free, but now he must go back to the castle east of the Sun and west of the Moon, to marry a troll princess.
The prince leaves, but the girl wishes to marry him and follows, though she must first find the castle east of the Sun and west of the Moon. She meets three old women along the way, from whom she receives an enchanted golden object each, then the East, West and South Winds, the last of whom takes her to their brother the North Wind. The North Wind is just strong enough to take her to the castle, where she speaks to the troll princess through the window, giving a golden item each night in exchange for seeing the prince. The troll princess drugs the prince each night however so they are unable to speak, until the third night when some trapped humans in the next room warn him. They agree on a trial only the girl can achieve - washing the tallow from his shirt. The troll princess tries and is unsuccessful, so the girl tries and is able to. The trolls are so enraged they explode, leaving the prince and the girl to marry and live in the castle east of the Sun and west of the Moon in peace. ]]> 2021-06-05 14:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1586989017 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1586989353 sources:

I like that in this story they are not married as part of the bargain, and the girl takes it upon herself to go and find the prince once she discovers the truth, giving her more agency and building her character. She also always replies 'no' when asked if she's scared when riding on the bear/winds. I also enjoyed the trip itself, it's both quite funny that nobody seems to have any more information than the last and builds up the mystique of the castle she's trying to get to.
The trolls and humans (called 'Christians' in the story) being at odds are a common feature in Norwegian tales also, trolls being a key creature in their folklore and fairy tales.
I particularly like the idea of this castle being 'east of the Sun and west of the Moon', and being nearly impossible to get to. It paints it as a very magical and mysterious place, and while reading I was always imagining what it could be like in a place like that.]]> 2021-06-05 14:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1586995958 Characters rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587008246 - The prince/white bear

I like how much space the bear takes up in this image, it really places an emphasis on him along with the tonal choices - the darkest grey in the water below is directly next to the pure white of the bear for a strong contrast which draws the eye. However I don't think the girl has as much presence here as she could, she somewhat blends into the background, though I do like her pose, it makes her seem relaxed and inquisitive.

He studied first at the Cambridge School of Art, then at the Royal College of Art School of Design.

Bawden primarily made commissioned work for a variety of commercial purposes, including murals, tile designs for the London Underground, furniture designs and illustrations (including lino prints). He also spent several years during WW2 as an official war artist, travelling Europe and the Middle East.]]> 2021-06-05 18:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587196454 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587196533 sources:

They stand out as very modern, and appealed to his commercial clients. Bawden's prints of buildings, such as 'Brighton Pier' and 'Audley End House', are very architectural and structured, showcasing the unique features of the buildings well. These two prints and many others also showcase how he used colour as an important compositional element to break up the print into sections.

I particularly enjoy his prints for how they utilise the medium, he makes careful decisions to leave large areas blocked in with black or conversely to carve away until there are only thin lines left. The graphical feel that they have is very striking and eye catching.
Relief prints are able to produce very solid sections of bold colour (or pure black), and overlap these sections to build upon an image. In Bawden's 'Hare and the Tortoise' for example bits of green show through from underneath all of the animals, tying the print as a whole together.]]> 2021-06-05 18:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587196685 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587196899 source:

Fables and fairy tales are strongly associated, and the specific definitions are not set in stone. Fables tend to, but not always, depict animals, and give a moral lesson at the end whereas a fairy tale may be more focused on entertainment. Both have close cultural ties, and may have been passed down through generations and changed over time.
Aesop's Fables are a collection of fables attributed to the slave and storyteller Aesop who is believed to have lived in Ancient Greece. They have certainly changed over time as they have been written and re-recorded. They are mostly short tales where the main characters are animals given human traits and used to tell some kind of social or religious moral message.
This kind of personification of animals is also present in fairy tales, where animals may be able to talk with no explanation why given in the story, the reader is just expected to understand - a by-product of talking animals being ingrained into many many generations of stories through things like fables that we read from a young age.

Bawden's depictions of the animals from these fables are uniquely styled. Compared to other illustrations that feature realistic animals in naturalistic backgrounds, Bawden's prints are comparatively simple, but very effective, being highly stylised. They also feature a lot of repeating elements. Bawden would have, for example, one kind of arrangement of shapes to make up a tortoise's shell and then every tortoise would be have that same pattern. His consistency of style and the manner in which he breaks down the shapes within the animal (somewhat reminding me of abstract painters such as Picasso's break down of a human face) I think are key to how successful his prints are.]]> 2021-06-05 18:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587196976 rubyciric https://padlet.com/rubyciric/nal9hn1g71rLgyjx/wish/1587197702 sources:
