Student Narrative
In this two spread pop up book, I think about how I can depict an old soul through pure imagery. A colourful chalk pastel title on this grey box brings back memories of drawing on the sidewalk. It contains two portraits, which open up to reveal their “old souls”. Each portrait has an element that relates the inside to the outside; a polka dot bow turns into an old ladies’ visor, and big statement earrings are always timeless!
