Visual exploration 2 - Illustration (L4)

In the first week into the module of character and narrative, we were given two historical figures from a random selection to begin our character development research. The two historical figures I got were Marie Antoinette and Barbara McClintock.  Similar to the colour story research, in the beginnings of my research into these two historical figures I'm use a similar structure to the Kipling method of asking the following questions; Who (who is the historical figure), when (when were they born/die/live), where (where did they live/travel/residence), how (how did they live they're lives). These different questions will help to develop general information about the figure to aid my development of they're personality, life and physical appearance.  Who?

In the first week into the module of visual exploration 2: colour story, we began to explore two different chosen colours and collate research about the history, utilization, components and visual language of these colours. When beginning to collate this research, we were given an example format to base the structure of our research on in this first week. This structure is based of Rudyard Kipling's (1865-1936) poem; The elephant's child, 1902 (as shown below). I Keep six honest serving-men:        (They taught me all I knew)      Their names are What and Where and When        And How and Why and Who.      I send them over land and sea,        I send them east and west;      But after they have worked for me,        I give them all a rest. From this poem we were given six broad questions; what, why, when, how who and where.  What? -Venetian red Why? - Warm vi...
