World Mythology
ESSAY QUESTION:
Select one cosmic myth, one myth of the gods (figures), one hero myth (figures), one place myth,
or one object myth, and discuss one example of its representation in the visual arts. Beyond this
initial connection, discuss Art Brenner’s analysis of the language of art in “The Structuralism of
Claude Lévi-Strauss and the Visual Arts” and how it applies to the selected myth and imagery. If
the myth individually and its visual counterpart communicate via specific languages, how, if at all,
do these languages complement one another? How does Brenner’s understanding of Roland
Barthes and semiology clarify this point? Explain.
PROCEDURE:
An essay with 1,100-word in one Word document, citing all relevant material as needed. If
source materials are quoted directly or indirectly, the essay must include a Works Cited page and
adhere to all MLA (8th edition) formatting requirements.
