The Ethiopians chose to
express Scripture in a visual and colorful manor. The artistic qualities are consistent
throughout the text as if it was completed by one author/artist. The color pallet combines earth tones and
nature colors with the color pallets of Ethiopian attire. These color pallets brought a CONTRAST that
was relatable to its people/culture. The REPETITION of colors provided evidence of either their color limitations or
what was a representation of their culture. The ALIGNMENT was also simple but
a little rough as this was obviously handwritten. With PROXIMITY, rather than just having
pictures and text, the text was, at times, embedded as a part of the artwork.
This work appeared more like
a children’s bible. But to explain a set
of scriptures to a new culture, this would be the best presentation.
