Simply because I love it. <u>Its beautiful</u>. I couldn't sleep at all so I got to book out from downstairs. And in the bookcase downstairs we have a lot of Non-fiction books about birds. I flicked through the photographs, picked up a pen and some colourful origami paper and started to draw. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">These birds are quite significant to me because I actually took a photo of them and stuck them on my C.V (after a bit of photoshop tinkering) last year to make me stand out a little. This C.V subsequently got me an invaluable and unforgettable internship at the best place EVER. </span><br />

I used the inspiration from the BBC Drama: Upstairs Downstairs and the famous play: ‘An Inspector Calls’ which was set in a 1912 Middle Class drawing room. By using the Drawing Room of a Middle Class house and the Kitchen on a Working Class house I could combine the two sets together with one half of each room with the table as the main feature joining the two classes in the centre. The drawing took a long time because every single item that was drawn had to be researched, I watched online clips of a film adaptation of ‘An Inspector Calls’ as well as the first series of ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ to get a feel of the differences and tensions between the two classes.</span><br />
