WRITING THE VISUAL: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR TEACHERS OF COMPOSITION
AND COMMUNICATION offers a variety of creative and theoretically
based approaches to the development of visual literacy. The book's
introduction and twelve chapters provide an array of pedagogical
perspectives, exceptional field-tested assignments for students
writing across the disciplines, and a strong bibliographic base
from which readers might continue their exploration of visual
studies. Presenting ideas both imaginative and practical for
teachers and advanced students, WRITING THE VISUAL aims to expand
our understanding of how visual and verbal elements contribute to a
text's effectiveness. Extensively referencing key figures from
ancient times to the present who have developed theories, described
histories, and provided analyses of images, WRITING THE VISUAL
responds to the growing desire for critical and creative engagement
with visual language in composition and communication classrooms. -
