illustrations in The Little Prince - 2024 ACF Nationals

Question

Description acceptable. The painter Hedda Sterne encouraged the use of these artworks, which include depictions of animals inspired by the creator’s lover Silvia Reinhardt and her black poodle. A character makes one of these artworks depicting a yellow-shaded figure falling “softly as a tree falls” in front of two hills, then reproduces it in the next chapter without that figure and calls it “the loveliest and the saddest landscape (-5[1])in the world.” After three failed attempts, the frustrated narrator creates one of these artworks (10[1])depicting a box with three air holes that he claims (10[1])contains a sheep. (10[5])Adults mistake (10[1]-5[1])one of (10[1])these artworks (10[2])for a depiction of a hat, (10[4]-5[2])but the title (-5[1])character recognizes it as a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant. For 10 points, identify these artworks made by a pilot in a novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: illustrations in The Little Prince [accept watercolors, paintings, drawings, or art in place of “illustrations”; accept Le Petit Prince in place of “The Little Prince”; accept illustrations by the narrator of The Little Prince or the pilot in The Little Prince or equivalents; prompt on illustrations, paintings, drawings, or art by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry by asking “from what literary work?”; reject “drawings by the Little Prince” or equivalents]
