The two paintings you see at Cronulla, I think the appropriated text is entitled "Beach Party".

my friend used the 'beach party' paintings and got 18/20....

Defoe - Robinson Crusoe and Castaway

Hamlet and The Lion King! (I was AMAZED at that one, but think about it)

romeo and juliet --> west side story? (i think)

 

[glycerine]

actually, pygmalion is a play (shaw)

does it have to be an apropriation into a film?

coz this year i've done a few appropriations:
WS's Romeo & Juliet = Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet
Traditional fairytales = Angela Carter's postmodern fairytales
WS's Hamlet = Almereyda's Hamlet
