Project 3
Digital triptych

Instructions:

Choose a story from the linked website:https://poestories.com/stories.php
Break down the narrative of the chosen story into 3-act structures of Introduction - Climax - Epilogue.
Then create 3 panels digital triptych illustrating each of the act.

Story:

The Oval Portrait

A) Central Characters:

1. The narrator. The protagonist and narrator of the story. The narrator has a deep fascination with art and architecture and is drawn to the Gothic.
2. The artist. The painter of the oval portrait.
3.The young woman. The newlywed bride of the artist and subject of the oval portrait.

B) Act 1 (Setup):

A young women loved and wedded an eccentric painter who cared more about his work than anything else in the world, including his wife. The painter eventually asked his wife to sit for him, and she obediently consented, sitting "meekly for many weeks" in his turret chamber.

C) Act 2 (Conflict):

The painter worked so diligently at his task that he did not recognizise his wife's fading health, as she, being a loving wife, continually "smiled on and still on, uncomplainingly". As the painter neared the end of his work, he let no one enter the turret chamber and rarely took his eyes off the canvas, even to watch his wife.

D) Act 3 (Resolution):

After many weeks had passed, he finally finished his work. As he looked at the completed image, however, he felt appalled, as he exclaimed, "This is indeed Life itself!" Thereafter, he turned suddenly to regard his bride and discovered that she had died.
