| Historically much of art was narrative. Despite the seeming overreliance on words since the rise of literacy, images have remained an important tool for communication. Visual narrative is an important subgenre of Visual studies and as such is a concern for contemporary designers and theorists across a range of subjects. This course will explore visual narratives and introduce you to methodologies to analyse and evaluate them. It asks how images, objects, and spaces can ‘tell stories’ with or without words. Narrative perspectives across disciplines and practices will be examined to aid your understanding of culture, and your role within it. |
