For this self directed project, I had a rough idea that I wanted to do something on folklore or mythical creatures. I created a Pinterest board to gather some images and ideas. As my researching of artwork and photography expanded I realised I wanted to focus my attention on female mythical creatures, especially those from the Ancient Greek era.

I created a mind map of some information I had accumulated from the internet about mythical creatures as a whole and female mythical creatures.

I found out there was a book of myths called D’Aulaires book of Greek Myths written by Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire and also a book called  Women and Other Monsters: Building a New Mythology by Jess Zimmerman.

I researched slightly about these books and their representation on female mythical creatures and decided to go to the library to search for these books for extra information.
