Altered Book Artist Statement
The theme of my book is the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. I did book three of the series The Mark of Athena. I did a hand holding a scroll, the scroll is a peace treaty, that purpose peace between the Romans and Greek, so they can work together to defeat Gaea and her sons, who wants to destroy Mount Olympus.
I picked this theme because I love the series and I thought I would be cool if I did something about the book, I kind made up the scroll, but I think there should be one if they are going to work together. I also did this theme because I feel if this event does happen, it would be the turning point of the war, between the Giants and the god.
I used the hand to hold the scroll, so it can show that something important is being handled. I made the case of the scroll black, to make it look scary and important. I also put a note inside the case, which is the scroll, explaining to the Romans why they must work together to defeat Gaea. The hand belongs to Annabeth, who is the daughter of Athena, Goddess of wisdom and war. My first idea was to make the hand hold a lightning bolt, as the project went on I kind of came up with the scroll thing and that turned out pretty good, I had no idea how I was going to make the lightning bolt, but at least the project came together pretty well.
