Using your selected narrative, compose three original illustrations and create a digital copy of the
story which integrates your images at various points throughout the composition. Your images should
complement the narrative and clearly link to the themes and ideas of your chosen story.

Your illustrations will be developed during English classes but need to be submitted digitally, and
integrated within one of the provided digital texts. Your work will be considered as one complete
text.

You will be marked on: your successful integration of the illustrations and how well the visual
components of the text work within the written story. They should feature a variety of visual
techniques, highlight your creativity and convey your wide understanding of course concepts including
symbolism, camera angles, colour, etc.

Part 2 - Written Analysis - 15 Marks

Title- (P) Explain how the visual elements of your text support the story that is being told.

This question requires you to analyse your images and their role within the text. You need to use the
metalanguage that you have learned as part of this unit to explain the artistic choices that you have
made. A list of appropriate definitions is available on CANVAS. Students are advised to study the Visual
Literacy PowerPoint provided on CANVAS as it features definitions and examples of visual language
techniques that students should be integrating within their own compositions.

Requirements:
● Answer the question to the best of your ability in 500-600 words.
● Your response must feature relevant visual literacy terms.

You will be marked on:


● Your ability to engage with and understand visual language techniques listed in the Visual
