Final Project
by Lizbeth ~ November 30th, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized.For my final project I have opted to do a drawing of what S. looked like in three different stages of her life. I was really intrigued by the novels portrayal of her life and how she changed so much due to the events that occurred. The three images that I would draw of her would be done on something known as Vellum paper; a paper that is translucent (different from transparent), which allows for images to be seen but not completely when the paper is layered. The reason behind this idea is so that when I draw S. (pre-war), I can then layer S. (during-war) on top and then place S. (after-war) as the final top layer. After all these layers are placed on top of each other (with post-war being the final layer) the pre-war S. would basically be a ghost image, just like the real S. in the story.
This concept of layered vellum is meant to convey the idea of how war detroys a person’s identity and changes them forever. The pre-war self is almost non-existent, merely a ghost of what one used to be; it is still there but as a memory. The three images will be similar with minor changes in S.’s face to show how she has evolved to fit and survive her circumstances.

I really like this project idea. I think that your drawings will be able to convey a person’s deterioration of herself through various war stages far better, or more memorable to say the least, than you would having written about it in a paper. I like the fact that your use of vellum paper for the drawing will help portray S. in a ghost-like way to represent a non-existent self in war. This ghost image can be said to represent every one of us as well, just how the book’s title does. I’m working on S. myself, but because I’m artistically handicapped I’ll have to stick to writing the paper. Looking forward to seeing your drawings!
