Introducing my topic

Poster done in reference to my scheme of work
(as well as referencing the tale of Bluebeard)

Binary Oppositions:
"When we are dealing with concepts, notions, or ideas, we make sense of them by contrasting them with their opposites. That is why we when we read or hear the word, 'rich', we automatically contrast it with poor, and when we read or hear the word 'happy', we thing of the word sad. If everyone has a great deal of money, rich loses it's meaning; rich means something only in contrast to poor" (Berger 30)

For my level 5 Contemporary Illustration: Practice and Debate theory unit, I've decided to delve into the structure of folk tales, legends and other moralistic narratives intended for children. The deeper underlying focus is set on how illustrations aid the focus of determining the difference between what is right and wrong.
