Paula Rego is a Portuguese artist who does a lot of work involving story book characters. Some of her most famous paintings include Snow White, Little Miss Muffet and Jack and Jill. The collection of images that she made regarding this topic focus on nursery rimes as well as fairy tales and can be found here. In these images, Rego takes the basic story and reinvents them in a dark and surreal way. This is similar to what we have to do in terms of reimagining the story. I think that these images work well because there are key features such as the blue and yellow dress in 'Swallows the Poisoned Apple' that help us to identify which story is being portrayed. This is something that I will have to think about when making my animation (which sounds and words can I pick out to help portray the story effectively?).
