This is a nursery rhyme illustration project. The aim of this project was to select a nursery rhyme which is mostly known by children and illustrate it as your own story. In my nusrey rhyme which is called "Ellerim/ My Hands", which is about the hands getting dirty and dirt makes the beauty unseen. So, I decided to go with the story of Fantine's transformation from Victor Hugo's famous novel called "Les Miserables because of the fact that she is becoming a prostitute after selling her teeths and her hair in order to help her daughter. My medium in this projects was basically magazine papers which I tear them and paste in order to create the exact visuals that I found from the movie secenes of Les Mis. Finally I put the secenes together with the matching sentences of the nursery rhyme and then I created a booklet which will also be in here soon.

 

Here is my whole nursery rhyme, 

 

Ellerim

                                                            

Ellerim tombik tombik                                        

Kirlenince çok komik 

Kirli eller sevilmez

Güzelliği görülmez.

Dişlerim bakım ister

Hele saçlar, hele saçlar

Uzayınca tırnaklar

Kirlenince kulaklar,

Bize pis derler, pis derler.
