Can all Aztec paintings be classified as codices?
I have to do an art project on Aztec culture, religion, and sacrifical rituals for my spanish class. I am painting a picture of a snake to represent the god Quetzalcoatl and a human sacrifice. I am wondering if it is correct for me to call the picture of the sacrifice a codice, or is it just a picture? Everywhere I look says codices are scripts, mostly consisting of pictures, so Im pretty confused. Can I call the darn picture a codice or not?
Aztec codices are generally collections (not necessarily books in the strict sense) of paintings or other visual depictions of Aztec culture (usually pre-Columbian but also during the early Spanish conquest years).
An individual painting wouldn't in itself be a codice but if you did a series of them and bound them or otherwise tied them together thematically that might qualify them as a kind of codice.
In general, though, codices are handmade books (i.e., hand drawn, handwritten, hand stitched).
