The Design & Screen Cultures 2: Visual Narratives course is designed to help you explore and develop your sense of visual narrative in a wider context. The course will begin with an overview of some of the key theories of visual narrative and look at a broad range of examples to help you consider how images and spaces can tell stories with or without accompanying words. Narrative perspectives of the maker, the audience and visual form itself will be examined to aid your understanding of the visual culture around you, and your role as a maker in its creation.
