Final piece idea

For my final piece I’m thinking of having a picture for each line of a nursery rhyme. I’m thinking of doing the nursery rhyme Jack be Nimble.

This nursery rhymes originates from an English pirate called Black Jack. He was well known for escaping from the authorities. This is why the first line of the nursery thymes is “Jack be nimble”.
Candle leaping was a sport or an old tradition that used to happen at English Fairs in the 16^th century. Candle leaping came about because of a dangerous game where people would jump over fires but it was banned and replaced with candle leaping.

It was said that jumping over the candlestick without putting it out was good luck and a way of fortune telling as well as a sport. Black Jack could have jumped over the candle sticks because he believed it gave him good luck which helped him get away.

 

Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick,
Jack jump over,
the candle stick.
