VERBALISING THE VISUAL - TRANSLATING ART AND DESIGN INTO WORDS

This book acknowledges the unstable relationship between language, objects and meanings and explores how people translate the experience of visual culture into written and spoken words. Its primary aim is to examine and clarify a representative range of language; formal and informal, academic and colloquial, global and local, which characterises current art and design discourse. The book includes theory , practice of formal and informal language be it written or spoken presentations, and other written documents, along with international case studies and student exercises.
