As a group or as an individual, create a living book cover for an illustrated edition of the play. In picking a quotation from the drama and in portraying an illustration that depicts the quotation’s meaning, take on the role of the bookseller or publishing house to best get a point across about the play to an audience who has NOT yet read it. Follow this process:
A. Pick one quotation from the play that is particularly significant, one that seems to speak to one of the playwright’s major themes or intents, or one that would make good sense on the cover of the book.
B. Decide how to portray the quotation in a dramatic picture that illustrates the quotation. For instance, in the play Antigone, the struggle between her duty to the state and her duty to her brother might be portrayed as a tug of war. This activity requires you to illustrate comprehension and synthesis by turning your understanding into performance art.
C. Create the book jacket in any program of your choosing or freehand. It should be colorful but not required if the image can clearly display your intent. Should you decide to draw the picture by hand, please scan it and save it so that you can submit it for this assignment. Please be prepared to discuss the quotation and explain your portrayal in writing on a separate page. The explanation must be at least a paragraph in length.
