2. A fall day in Sleepy Hollow…

3. “Certain it is the place still continues under the sway of some witching power
that holds a spell over the minds of the good people…They are given to all kinds
of marvelous beliefs; are subject to trances and visions, and frequently see
strange sights and hear music and voices in the air. The whole neighborhood
abounds with local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions.”
– Washington Irving

4. The Sleepy Hollow church yard

5. The churchyard at night…

6. The covered bridge…

7. At night in Sleepy Hollow…it’s best to stay inside.

8. Happy trees, like these, grow
everywhere in Sleepy Hollow.

9. Boo.
A typical farmer’s scarecrow
in Sleepy Hollow

10. Ichabod Crane – perhaps
his arrival to Sleepy
Hollow.
An example of the mens’
clothing style.
I love the color palette
here. A definite
atmosphere is conveyed –
chilly, windy, earth that
has stopped living at the
start of the fall season,
townsfolk must protect
themselves while
outdoors…

11. An illustrator’s whimisical renderings of “Katrina” and
“Brom Bones”. This style evokes comedy, physicality, and
a cartoon-like energy, all necessary to portray the humor in
this ghost story. I can just hear these characters’ voices
from the way they are drawn.

12. Some cool-looking,
creepy folks. Perhaps
Sleepy Hollow’s
townspeople. The
people are nicely
grayed and weathered
from their town’s
forboding atmosphere.
Note the period
clothing.

13. Ichabod’s
primitive and
weathered
classroom. I can
just hear the lively
soundscape,
provided by those
students…

14. The triangle: Katrina,
Ichy, and Brom at the
Halloween party. This
image brings to mind
these people’s desires,
wants, and needs, from
one another. Active,
passionate. I love the
bold color palette and
the use of light and
shadow. Safety and
not. Love the teeth-like
shadow from the antlers
on the chimney. I can
hear the music, smell
the food…

15. This image completely captures our reading’s goal: Active
storytelling! Like Brom here, let’s engage, frighten, and
entertain. How will you use your bodies? Your voice?

16. Ichabod walking
home…I love the bold
color scheme which
mirrors the benefits of
strong physical
choices in our
reading. How will
you color your
performance? How
will you help evoke a
similar atmosphere
using your voices and
bodies?

17. This image embodies the
atmosphere in the town.
What’s behind you? Are you
safe? What happens when the
sun goes down? Love the use
of dark and light. Great facial
expression.

18. The chase. How will we create the sounds and
feel of this deadly ride?

19. This is a really cool, abstract illustration
(artist unknown). To me, this image
evokes the horror in this ghost story. The
image, too, has a forceful energy, sound,
and physicality

20. Above all, let’s have fun
and TELL THE STORY!
