Original Creation Myth

Original Creation Myth

In American Literature, we studied the mythology of Native American Cultures, including "The World on a Turtle's Back" by the Iroquois, and Coyote Stories from the Okanogan tribes. We learned about traits of creation myths, the use of archetypes, such as the Trickster, and techniques such as anthropomorphism.

To display what we learned, we wrote and produced our own Original Creation Myths to explain the existence of at least one thing. We had to include at least one trickster character and an anthropomorphic character.

For my myth, I chose to write about the creation of clouds. I wrote a narrative about God and Lucifer. Lucifer and God were having a conversation about Squrriels and what happens when they die. God was so mad he let out a huge fart that created all clouds.

For my art piece, I chose to draw digital pieces using procreate. For my first piece, I used a light blue background and the rainforest tool to create the clouds and the fart. For my "GOD" figure I used the Narinder pencil to draw him. For my second piece, I used all the same tools but I used baby blue for the sky, a blood-red for Lucifer black for lucifer's smoke, and white for God's clouds. In my third piece, I used purple for the sky and added a rainbow.
