Description Fantasy Assignment.

Had to create 4 fantasy based portraits for 321. I used Greek mythology and urban legend as the basis for my images.

didnt know if this was fashion/emotive. emotive works better.

Hades.

God of the underworld in Greek mythology. I did a modern day interpretation (slimy business man) with an eye for money. The blue flames are to do with souls in his possession, and cos of an influence of the Disney film.

yeah...handed them in to margaret and she first had a bitch about the fact they all didnt fit into a plastic sleeve and therefore would get lost and damaged (this would be her fault if they did, not mine) and then said "you need to decide to stop working and put more effort into your portfolio, or keep working and have a sub standard portfolio" "well, to be honest i want to be an english teacher after this so i really only need to pass" "well at least make sure your work is of passing standard" (implying that the fantasy photos werent) i swear to god, if she had a problem with it, she should have said 'i dont think you will get a pass with these photos' a WEEK before, in which case i would have time to work on them. instead she saw them the monday before they were due said "they need backgrounds" (and that was it) - which i tried desperately to do, but really did NOT have the time in ONE DAY. oh, and cos im the english teacher, the fact that christie wrote a shitty sponsorship request letter (with some -not much- of my help) is obviously MY fault, and implied that IM making all of 3rd year look bad. I hate her.

sorry, you dont have class with her anymore, im catching you up
