Icarus was the son of the master craftsmen Daedalus, who constructed his son a pair of wings from feathers and wax to escape from Crete, he then instructed him not to fly to close to the sun as the wax would melt, Icarus ignored this warning and his wings melted and he fell into the sea and drowned, the is now named after him, the Icarian sea.

I decided to carry on using the collage technique but in a different way then I am used to, by using the different coloured paper I have been able to use a variety of shades and tones and using white pencil to create my image.

I have incorporated the sun faintly into the background of the image and i have also added the island of Crete at the bottom of the page
