Stories without words
Using emotive illustrations to tell a story
Learning intentions
Students will learn how Shaun Tan uses real and imagined worlds, along with various real-life experiences, to develop his artworks. Students will then explore artmaking in the subjective and cultural frames, using their imaginations and cultural and social perspectives to develop an illustration of a character.
Your students will:
- explore a story told through illustration
- analyse the artwork using the conceptual framework
- develop an illustration of a character
- communicate through illustration.
