The Beatles Yellow Submarine has been one of my favorite films since I very little, so when I was given an assignment that let me explore just about any art I wanted I immediately leapt for the psychedelic animated movie. The paper which I was assigned follows the idea of taking one literary artist, (I chose poet Matt Shears) and any piece of art that relates to our field of study and for me that's animation. The first part of our assignment was to create something visual, and that was about it. With so much free reign I wanted to combine painting which is something I often do, and paper arts which I've never really explored before. The inspiration came from Robert Sabuda's Alice in Wonderland pop-up book.
The first piece you look through is the portal to Pepperland, the main setting of the film. Next is the Blue Meanies as they take over Pepperland. Then the Sea of Monsters is next, the first of many obstacles the Beatles face. After that, the Foothills of the Headlands as they give vague directions as to where Pepperland is located. Finally is the Sea of Holes, if you look closely, you might find the Sea of Green. The of course the yellow submarine is somewhere in-between. Sorry if it's a little hard to see the inside, it's kind of awkward sticking a large camera down the small peep-hole.
Paige this came out so good reminds me exactly of the Alice In Wonderland Book.
