TASK 1: LOOKING FOR REFERENCES.
COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF IMAGES
Each mythology belongs to a culture and, as you know now, each culture expresses on a different way. This is clear when we look at spoken languages, but also visual languages are different (artistic expressions such as paintings, sculpture, clothes fashion, etc). There are different preferences and meanings for geometric shapes, colours (range, hue, combination), textures and patterns used.
You already have the story of your mythology defined. We are going to do the sets (backgrounds) for the play. Before we start, we have to look for references to inspire us:
What do you have to do?
1. Search images related to the mythology/culture of the story you are going to play (Teachers are going to provide you some selected pictures). Pay attention to how they represent things: what kind of geometry, lines, colours, textures, etc, do they use?
2. Each of the team members has to choose at least an image and make a drawing in an individual set inspired by the images they have seen.
3. Describe the picture:
3.1. what do you see on the picture? (denotative/objective analysis)
3.2. why do they use the elements you have seen in the images in point 1? (connotative/subjective analysis)
This is an individual task, but each team member has to analyze different images, you can't repeat them. (Planner: mythological characters; spokesperson: landscapes; editor: buildings and moderator: objects).
It has to be done in one session.
This task may be delivered individually to the teacher, but it has to be delivered by all the members of the team and has to be shown to the Art's teachers to say ok so you can pass to the next task.
This task represents 20% of the mark and would be evaluated individually.
You already have the story of your mythology defined. We are going to do the sets (backgrounds) for the play. Before we start, we have to look for references to inspire us:
- Where did our myths live? In which continent or region did the action take place? What kind of landscape did it have? What kind of buildings did they have?
- When did the events take place? Are they our contemporaries or did they live long ago?
