Abstract:
Verbalising the Visual: Translating Art and Design into Words investigates how we can best communicate our experiences of visual culture into written and spoken words. The book introduces students to a broad range of language and terminology: formal and informal, academic and colloquial, global and local, all of which can be found in current art and design discourse. It includes a variety of examples and case studies that explore the many ways in which language is used to discuss, describe, analyze and critically evaluate art and design.
