Week Three - #4

Next, I wanted to start visualizing the subjects of my piece of artwork which will be some variation of the mythology of the queen of fairies. One of the most interesting parts of my research from last semester is that the original mythology of the fairy society is that it is a courtly society, and all the fairies are often holding court or banqueting or feasting. I first started to play with that idea. The Queen of fairies is often depicted as an unusually large woman, but fairies are usually depicted as small people who are about 3 feet tall. They are ordinary looking humans apart from their size, so this is what I started with. I searched for references of women with medieval dress to splice into this image and was not able to find as much as I hoped. I decided to opt out of portraying the fairy court for now because it seems I will have to visualize this from scratch, and I need to develop my drawing skills and creativity before I can come up with it.
