Great Expectations

For my final project at university I have chosen to use Mr Charles Dickens as the starting point for my theme. As 2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer i felt that it would be fitting to adapt one of his famous novels. I chose Great Expectations as the book my set would be based on. Every time I have readthe story ,the house belonging to Miss Havisham; "Satis House" has always struck me as a setting full of mystery and a place that would be fascinating to explore. I therefore felt that recreating Miss Havisham's wedding reception room on the day that Pip revisits her would be interesting and allow me to explore a wonderful setting and era.

I began research and looked into timelines and what Dickens based the house on, once i had collected information i began designing and made a 1:25 scale model of my set.Wallpaper design and colour way
