I plan on making a mockingbird out of fabric and cushioning that can be pulled apart into diffferent pieces and velcroed back together. This will demonstrate how the black mockingbird, Tom Robinson, was treated by the white majority.
Each section of the bird will fall away to reveal one or two key quotes from the novel. These quotes I have specifically chosen to focus on illustrating my main chosen themes of racial prejudice and the loss/destruction of innocence.
The material will be slightly see through to show the white insides of the black mockingbird suggesting that all creeds and colours , races and religions are fundamentally the same on the inside. We are all people.
This is one of my pattern pieces;
Here is a rough picture of my mockingbird as it stands today;
As of yet, it is missing its tail and beak. Hopefully after these additions it will resemble more of a mockingbird than it does right now!
