We had an AP Art History project that required us to create a tympanum with any theme we wanted. My partner, Peter Awad, and I chose to do Star Wars for our theme. A tympanum is supposed to inflict fear upon the viewer so the main character of our tympanum is Darth Vader. Darth Vader is featured within the mandola. To Darth Vader's right side we drew the good characters in decreasing rank. Immediately to Darth Vader's right is Luke Skywalker. Next to Luke is Princess Leia. Last, next to Princess Leia is Yoda. To Darth Vader's left is the evil side. There are only two figures. Immediately to Darth Vader's left is Darth Maul and next to him is Jaba the Hut. On the evil side of the lintel there are white droids. On the good side of the lintel there are white fighter pilots with red helmets. On the evil side of the archevolts are white death stars. On the good side of the archevolts are Millennium Falcons. Altogether it creates a Star Wars themed tympanum.
