Draft of Cinderella 

There is some design of the magical item and character. I am trying to draw out the important element to convey in my story. My version of Cinderella, this century of the fairy tale. 

Three series of Cinderella:

1. The grief news (Symbolism: Ribbon)

2. A new hope (Symbolism: Light)

3. Happily ever after (Symbolism: Glass slipper and Swing)

Search for fairy tales:

Zipes, J. (2012). The irresistible fairy tale: The cultural and social history of a genre. Retrieved from https://ebookcentral.proquest.com

I found this book "The irresistible fairy tale" very helpful towards my project. So far, I have read one of the chapters, Chapter 2: The meaning of Fairy Tale within the evolution of culture. 

Pg 32: To summarize my argument, the fairy tale was first a simple, imaginative oral tale containing magical and miraculous elements and was related to the belief system, values, rites, and experiences of pagan peoples. 

- The technological invention, in particular, enabled the fairy tale to expand in the various cultural domain, even on the internet. 

The technology has enabled the human being to communicate with each other and make society more diversified, One of the reasons fairy tale is able to expand is on advanced technology especially in nowadays society. I should investigate more on the relation of technology, how technology has helped the world to shape and understand different culture just by a click into the world wide web. 

Sites option:

Three sites that I am aiming for, there are some that are in my head. What I am looking for at my site is a large number of people going in and out daily. I wanted people of different diversity to interact more with each other, so I might create a scavenger hunt kind of game for people to look for other illustration and also promote my exhibition on at RAW gallery.
