5 C Approach To Visual Texts The five ‘C’s – an approach to visual texts<\/p>\n
1. Context<\/b> – When was this made? What is the subject matter?
What clues are given for a time frame? Consider clothing, implements – tools, weapons, architecture, etc.<\/p>\n
2. Characters<\/b> – Who or what is portrayed here? Is it a person? Animal? Symbol?
What clues are given about who\/what they are?<\/p>\n
3. Color<\/b> – What colors, if any, are used? Do you think they were used just for visual appeal?
What is the mood or tone established by these colors?<\/p>\n
4. Composition<\/b> – Look at the use of space. Is one image bigger than another?
Is that to suggest a relationship? What kind of relationship? Is the entire space used?
Why or why not? What is the foreground? The background? Do either suggest importance?<\/p>\n
5. Construction<\/b> – Someone consciously constructed this image for a purpose.
Who do you think made this? Why? For what audience? Who would connect with this image?
Who would not? \t
