I’ve decided to connect my project to the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by the famous American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. The genres that this short story fits in are tragedy, gothic fiction, short story, horror. Therefore my project will be displayed on the artistic manner. In this short story there’s many little, but vivid details that are given by an unnamed narrator. I will be using many of the details that are given on my canvas. The fundamental of this short story is of the house itself and the abnormal characters. The characters in this story are Roderick Usher, his sister Madeline Usher and an unnamed narrator. The unnamed narrator is a boyhood friend of Roderick Usher. Roderick Usher and Madeline Usher are twins.

I truly think that my drawing is a perfect image that you as a reader receive from the story. The material I used to be able to create my drawing were just two things a pencil and a stretched canvas size 12 x 16. To accomplish this drawing I had to reflect on what I read and remember little details that the unnamed narrator described. In the story when the narrator arrives at the House of Usher he describes a creepy looking house. I used that part and first drew a mansion that look old and creepy. I drew a mansion from the 1839 which was also the year that the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” was published by Edgar Allan Poe. I also drew two medium size leafless trees one on the left side and one on the right side. The house is in the middle of the two leafless trees. Then I drew a horse on the left bottom of the canvas. In the story it says that the unnamed narrator rode his horse to the House of Usher. After I drew the horse I started to draw a man and the man represents the unnamed narrator or better known as Roderick Usher”s boyhood friend. Then I drew a crack coming down from the roof to the front of the house. Last but not least I drew three clouds above the mansion and they vary in size one of the clouds is wide and the other two clouds are both medium size and look fluffy. I decided to not add color to my drawing because the story is obscure. With my index finger I smeared the drawing which added a greyish and fogyish effect to the drawing. The smearing also adds sublime to my drawing. I mainly focused on smearing in the area where the clouds are at and around the leafless
