wow ok take note all June 12th workbig figured out how to put in a blog...sorry everyone im computer challenged. So to update on the art:
Of course i would be the one to choose the pop up book as one of my first projects, my mom says i should start off with an easier project but im really getting into it. Its comming along, first im laying out where things will go. I did some research and a lot of the pictures show some very elaborate pages (like the one if you type in pop up books, Alice and Wonderland - it's really cool) I'm kinda getting frustrated with how to make the objects pop up because although i was able to get some directions off the internet...im a visual learner. I went to the library and they said they didnt have pop up books because they didnt last very long...so hopefully b&n will have some. *Mamma B is it ok if you take an origionally fairy tale and portray it with your own words?

hope everyone is having a great summer...maybe ill have an art pool party at my house! hows that sound?

thanks <3 workbig
ps......i got over my fear of hights! I went on drop zone for the very first time yesterday!

HEYYYYY, work big!!!!! I loved seeing your blog!
Sorry if this is new to you but I'm confident you'll catch on. Just do what you can.
I'm not surprised you picked the pop-up books. I tried to put enough different ideas in the packet so that everyone could find something they liked and that would lead to something else and so on...

I will have to look up the "Alice" reference. I hadn't seen that yet.
I do have a great pop-up book that shows all the nuts and bolts of the process (the gears, so to speak). It's here at my house and I would be happy to lend it to you if you want it. I can drop it off at the office at school or something. Just let me know.
Yes, you can rewrite a well-known fairytale. It's done all the time in movies and books. You need to make it enough of your own to be able to call it yours. Character changes, plot twists, modernizing or updating the scenery or details all help to make it your own.
You dont have to tell a whole story (although you are amazing at that!) you can just create a page or two. But you are certainly welcome to create a whole story if you like. I will give you credit for the number of "double page spreads" you make.

Thanks for taking the time to teach yourself the ins and outs of blogging. Its fun to hear about what everyone is doing. (You are always the ambitious one in regards to size. And you really seem to have an affinity for text so a book just makes sense.)
I hope your summer is going well so far. If you need anything let me know. Think about borrowing that book! :-)
