Graphics
Designers and Photographers utilize their knowledge and techniques to create a
visual storytelling. A graphic
design or photograph can elicit an emotional response from the viewer;
ultimately, stirring the thought process.
Building a bridge between Graphics Design &
Photographers AND the classroom…
In a
more direct analogy, a teacher will utilize storytelling to elicit an emotional
response (i.e., provoke, motivate, etc.) resulting in engaged, deeper thinking
students. Just as a well-developed
and presented image can hold your interest and reach the viewer, teachers need
to hold the interest of their students and reach them with the subject they are
trying to convey.
A
less direct analogy would be with regard to composition. For a graphic design or a photograph,
composition can equate to… what goes where (placement of items to draw your
eye), colors, patterns ~ combining parts to form a whole. For a teacher, composition is very
similar in that how he/she builds on the curriculum tells a story, pulling in
different aspects, structuring the curriculum such that every lesson supports
each lesson, combining parts or elements, leading to a harmonious result.
