My Short Story

To accompany my major final outcome, which will be a portrait of Marie Antoinette, I will be making a short story to tell the tale of Marie Antoinette. As inspiration, I have used David Hockney's interpretation of The Rake's Progress to plan my own story. Hockney produced various stage designs inclusive with characters and props and I have imitated this with three of my potential compositions. At first I was going to simply sketch my own scenes but I thought that I could make it more effective by imitating Hockney's 3D sets. So, I have chosen to use shoe boxes and filled them with the major aspects of each scene.

Here are some images of Hockney's work:
