The Great Tales Two Page Spread

Two Page Spread

My first project was to create a two-page spread, a mood board of sorts with ideas and questions pertaining to my sustained investigation. (Pictured above) I chose images from Pinterest (all of the images on the left and the one of the girl on the right) that portrayed the characters from “The Great Tales” in styles similar to what I hope to do. The three photos of Turin (right page) are my own images that I will use in my portfolio. I burned the edges of this spread and stained it with coffee and undiluted watercolor to create a messy, worn, and old effect, in an attempt to emphasize the messiness of life, particularly in “The Great Tales.” Life is often romanticized in fantasy stories, but it is not in these tales.

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!
