Seminar 07/03/07

Refining my question; some possiblities...

What other forms of non verbal communication exist?

Does the requirement to draw 'naturalistically' discourage visual narrative communication in children?

Is there a representative number of textless narratives on the national curriculum?

Tutorial Critical Visual Practice 14/02/07

Task: Produce a Visual Bilbliography
Set parameters (chronological or perhaps based on imagery that I find interesting)
Add a written commentary


Fluxus
Underground comics

The 'language' of film. Is there a 'language' of the textless narrative?

How do we as audience know when a narrative has begun.
