Explores visual language of still and moving images. Students will look at animation but will also consider all time-based media. Students will study the tools used in visually structuring a story. Students will first review how story can be a sound basis for all learning. Students will then address two broad categories that make up storytelling; text and sub-text. This is based on the premise that audiences get most of its information from subtext and it is generally more powerful than the text of the story. As teachers and educators, we want the audience (our learners) to participate in story and they should be actively visually involved with the story. In other words, it isn't a passive relationship
