watercolours & an incoherent still life to make a narrative

We thought about how our imagination can make stories out of a set of random objects.  Then we looked at some images of paintings and explored the narrative or story in the work and considered composition as a tool for expanding or re-enforcing the story.

The task was to make a watercolour painting using a globe and an Easter Bunny as a starting point.  The room behind the objects could be used or ignored.  Elements from our imagination, colour, objects, setting etc were added to give the work a narrative.  We tested our ideas in sketches first before transferring our selected idea to watercolour paper.  

The lovely, interesting results are below.  Well done everyone!
