Read below for the description of the project and to look at the final piece.  Here I am showing the sketches and process.  I had more sketches but my computer was acting strange this morning so this is what I managed to post.

This assignment involved several things of which I found difficult to combine but welcomed the challenge.  It was to be 90% done on the computer, and was to include a fairytale story and address  the green earth efforts. It also had to be very attractive and friendly for young children.  I did accomplish in making the illustration 100% on the computer and enjoyed that.  The combination of fairytale and green earth was made with the story of the tin man in Wizard of OZ, planting new trees with his "tin son" and "tin dog".  The yellow brick road leads us to my depiction of OZ which is over the rainbow.  I hoped this would inspire young ones to think of creating a better world.
