Posted Feb 9, 2012 by Effers;England. This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 15 What is a 'visual narrative'? I've never come across the term before in connection with artists. (I have that funny feeling though I'll never fit in in a million years...don't worry...but seriously it sounds *so* bureacratic and off putting to me.

Posted Feb 9, 2012 by Effers;England. This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 18 So do I. Let's for god's sakes call a spade a spade. Then everyone knows where they are with their written entries. The drawings I did for my now withdrawn entry were all about 'relationship' with text not ornaments like illustrations so often are. I won't be applying...people will be relieved to know. But really...I hate this latest fad/fashion for calling things by names like 'visual narrative'. It artificially mystifies things giving an aura... It's designed to *alienate* people who think like me and attract other sorts of people. Don't worry I'm unsubbing.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 19 'Visual narrative' is actually being used incorrectly in the OP. A visual narrative is exactly what it sounds like: a story told mostly or entirely through visual means (i.e. pictures rather than words). A silent film is a visual narrative, as is a comic with little or no speech. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Thursday 9 February, 2012: h2g2 Announcements. Posted Feb 9, 2012 by paulh.
