Description
ENG2614 Assignment 2 Memo | Due 27 June 2025. 2 Essays provided. Go back and listen to the online classes on visual literacy and mythology. Look at the image below. In a well-structured and clearly argued essay, discuss how the visual elements of line, colour, shape, texture, medium and style illustrate the richness of African mythology and the cultural link between myth-creation and identity. Your essay should be between 1500 and 2000 words in length. Use the following questions to guide you in your analysis: • What colours are used in the image? • How do they create atmosphere? How would you describe this atmosphere? Why? • How does the use of warm and cold colours create a sense of magic and mystery? Discuss. • What kinds of shapes are used to underpin the organic nature of mythology? • How is texture used to create depth of field or vision here? • How is line used to draw the viewer into the image and its narrative? • Describe the medium that is used. (In other words, is it digital, watercolour, graphic design, computer generated design? More than one answer could be correct here, but remember to substantiate your claims.) Why is the medium important to the overall visual effect? What does the medium suggest about contemporary approaches to mythology? • How is the idea of mythology as a cultural phenomenon established in the image though the use of the visual elements? What does the image suggest about African mythology and community? • What is your opinion concerning mythology in general? Link these ideas to specific aspects of this image, using it to support your ideas about myths. Your opinion can be subjective or even negative, but please explain this clearly and with reference to the image below.
