CRACKING THE CODEX - Aztec codices (singular codex) are books that provide some of the best sources of Aztec culture. - The Aztec codices are largely pictorial; they were not meant to symbolize spoken or written narratives. - Each codex has a different historical and cultural background.

Who are the individuals represented in this image? What do you think is happening? When (approximately) in Aztec history is this taking place? (pre or post Spanish Influence) Where do you think this is taking place? (City, home, market, temple, etc.) Why are the people doing what they are doing? How is this important to their values and beliefs? Codex Retrieval Chart 5 W’s Hypothesis Conclusion

WHAT IS THIS? It could be a…Dance, sacrifice, ceremony, presentation, parade, celebration or a festival? WHO IS PARTICIPATING? It could be…Women, men, children, elders, a Priest or a Leader? We think… This is a sacrifice that happened pre-Spanish influence involving the whole community. We think that the Leader is the most important person in the codex because they are in the middle of the activity. We think this sacrifice is being performed for good luck on an altar because the people have colourful clothing and the main figure is elevated.

We were wrong!!!! This Codex actually represents... The Eleventh month celebration honouring the mother goddess Teteoinnan-Toci (center) and the corn goddess Chicomecoatl (bottom, with a serpent). The five priestesses in the middle represent the four cardinal directions and the center.

WHAT IS THIS? It could be… WHO IS PARTICIPATING? It could be… You think this codex represents…

FELDMAN’S ART CRITIQUE -Edmund Feldman is a Professor of Art at the University of Georgia -He developed a method that uses four steps to help you create an opinion on a piece of art.

DESCRIBE: Describe what you see in the artwork. Descriptive words about an artwork are like pointers; they draw attention to something worth seeing – so remember that the words that you use must be NEUTRAL. Do not use terms that denote value judgements, such as beautiful, weird, funny looking, ugly, stupid etc. Instead, focus on the factual descriptions, such as smooth, bright, round, a lake, a shape, etc. This is important so that you do not jump to conclusions before going through all the steps. ANALYZE: What do your observations reveal about the piece? Analysis of relationships such as sizes, shapes, colors, textures, space and volumes, etc., encourages a complete examination of the artwork. It also reveals the decision making process of the artist, who wants the viewer to make certain connections within the artwork. INTERPRET: Using your work from steps 1 and 2, try to interpret what is happening in the art work. Interpretation is about ideas (not description) or sensation or feelings. Don’t be afraid of changing your interpretation if new facts are discovered (such as the date of the artwork, or the personal history of the artist, etc.) JUDGE: Using information collected in steps 1, 2 and 3, how would you judge this piece of art?
