AP Art Primary Question

 As of August 27, 2020, I have chosen as my investigation for my AP Portfolio to answer the question: How can I use portrait photography to examine the transcendental themes permeating the “Great Tales of Middle Earth”?

I will examine the tales of “Beren and Luthien”, “The Children of Hurin”, and “The Fall of Gondolin” photographing the characters in order to represent the themes I see in the main scenes and encounters of these three stories. 

Stay posted for more updates and art!

The three photos of Turin (right page) are my own images that I will use in my portfolio.
