Verbalising the Visual: Translating Art and Design into Words acknowledges the unstable relationship between language, objects and meanings. The book explores how we 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 very many ways in which language is used to discuss, describe, analyse, and critically evaluate art and design is examined through numerous examples. The book includes theory and practice as it relates to formal and informal language, whether written or spoken presentations, and other written documents.
Students should be better able to select and effectively employ language to present art and design work for discussion and critical assessment.
