Panel 2 Update

My panel 2 in art is somewhat finished. I have been given feedback by miss Keene to try and bring orange colour for panel 2 to start panel 3. Here is a screenshot of my panel 2.




Panel 3 Draft

 In art, I have decided to go with a more rectangle/square type of building architecture in panel 3. With this, I have edited some of my images and have made a bit of progress. This is my progress at the moment.

Art panel 2 Extended thinking

 For art, I have decided to go with the feedback I have been given by Miss Keene and Miss Clemence. they have commented that I should stick to the idea of Arch for panel 2. That is why I have decided to work with the photographs I have and crop out different parts of any architecture with arches.

Alexander the Great (primary sources writing practice)

Alexander the great has burned down Persepolis. However, there are a few arguments that say that He did not burn it down on purpose. Some say that he burnt it down on purpose. In my opinion, however, I think that he has burned it down not on purpose. He was too drunk when he did it which means that he wasn't in the right mind when he burned it down. According to Plutarch, the fire started at the end of the drinking party. During the party, there came a Greek prostitute gave a speech that encouraged Alexander to burn down Persepolis.





Understanding the events in Alexander's journey, a reliable primary source is necessary. Knowing Alexander, there can be different interpretations of men about him. There are sources that are biased or inaccurate. Sadly, there is no writing from his close friends and his family has stayed. Most of the stories written about Alexander were written long after his death; This type of writing is called a "Secondary" source. There are also histories that have been written earlier and are called "Primary" sources. Secondary sources may be biased in some way which highly depends on their point of view as historians. It can also depend on how subjective he can be regarding the information he was collecting. Moreover, it can also depend on why he was writing about him. 

There are five main sources for studying Alexander the great; Arrian, Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus, Curtius Rufus and Justin. These sources may vary in different writings about Alexander. Also, these writers have written different stories about Alexander's life.

Art Panel 2 Progress

 In Art for panel 2, I have decided to go with arched patterns within my images. For this, I chose to focus on Vivian Maier as my photographer on this panel.


Here is a screenshot of my panel 2 draft:





















And here is a screenshot of the look I am trying to achieve.







































To achieve this look, I would have to include people in the image to mimick her photographic style.
