INTRODUCTION
At this point of the project you already know the mythology you have to work with, and, of course, you have invented a myth. As you know, at the end of this project you might have a theatre work inspired in a myth. These three days you are going to develop the most appropriate scenography to represent your myth. We also encourage you to make masks and costumes with carton and other recycled materials.

COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF IMAGES Each mythology belongs to a culture and, as you know now, each culture expresses on a different way. This is clear when we look at spoken language, but also visual language is different (artistic expressions such as paintings, sculpture, clothes fashion, etc). There are different preferences and meanings for geometric shapes, colours (range, hue, combination), textures and patterns used. What do you have to do?
What do you have to deliver?
In both cases you have to reflect images analysis both:
This task may be delivered individually on classroom in a task created for this work, but it has to be delivered by all the members of the team and has to be shown to the Art's teachers to say ok so you can pass to next task.

TASK 2
|
CREATION OF A MYTH'S IMAGE In the previous task you have compiled and analyze images related to the culture in which you are working. Now you have to try to reflect those knowledges in your invented myth. Till now you have invented, written and created the script and dialogues, you have described the characters and, above all, you have studied their culture to get inspired by it. Well, now you have to set the scene, the decorations and, if you want and can, create costumes, masks and accessories. You have to reach to an agreement on what you want to represent and divide the scenes and parts of sceneries and characters. What do you have to do? You have to make enough sketches to define clearly the mythology you have created. How do you have to deliver results?
At least you have to deliver an environment's sketch and a character's sketch per team member, you have to put the name of the author an the sketches has to be ordered chronologically in case there are several scenes, so it works as an storyboard. As in the other activity, upload the work in your classroom individually. Show them to your teacher. You can't start a new task if you haven't finished this ALL team members. You have two sessions to finish. Deadline is fourth session. This task represents 20% of the mark and would be valued individually. At this moment you may have decided the materials you need and have listed them. So, maybe you have brought a lot from home and you can go and search the others. Examples of made-up mythologies Here you can find some examples of made-up mythologies, developed in different environments, to be used as inspiration. Of course, only as an idea, not pretending you develop anything similar.

This set will be based in the sketches you did in the previous task. And they are based, at the same time, in the images you have analyzed. Keep in mind that global image has to be as coherent with the idea as possible, as much as with the music. It is not a copy, but a reinterpretation of the myths. When working in this task you are free to choose techniques and materials. The teachers would give you part of them. What do you have to do? You have to create a complete scenography for the final theatre play. This means that you have to create background images for the myth, the place in which it would take place and, just if you want, the required stage props for the characters (masks, costumes, ....). How do you have to deliver results?

EXAMPLES OF SCENOGRAPHIES
THE LION KING, MUSICAL
"With Julie Taumor's genious and artistic and creative vision, musical genre goes ahead a bit. She is the director of this amazing and colourful staging. The Lion King takes the spectator directly to African exotism, with evocative musics, going down to history, becoming a changing point in artistic design and, in general, in musical genre, that cannot leave anyone indifferent. It's a great creative team for an unforgettable musical. THE LION KING is an outstanding musical, the result of the marriage of recognized musical and theater talents at world level and the fusion of the more sofisticated African, western and Asiatic art disciplines. It has been seen by 85 million spectators and it has won 70 prizes. This incredible musical has been more than 19 years on stages in Broadway. It has songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, and Lebo. M y Hans Zimmer's music. It's a unique performance full of family values, that shows the relationship each one of us has with our own roots. THE LION KING makes the spectator rethink about the importance of each one of our actions and the effects they cause to our environment, as well as the importance of feeling part of a group, and how the whole of it makes up our destiny. Besides, it's a tribute to respect and love for Nature". |

Come on! and, as Picasso would say, "let's inspiration find us working!"
