Acknowledging the unstable relationship between language, objects and meanings, Verbalising the Visual takes an interrogative approach in asking how we translate the experience of visual culture into written and spoken words. Its primary aim is to examine and clarify a representative range of language; formal and informal, academic and colloquial, global and local, which characterises current art and design discourse. Beginning with an exploration and clarification of the very many ways in which language is used to discuss, describe, analyse and critically evaluate art and design, the book then tests, through selected examples, whether such statements always meaningfully relate to their subjects. A closer examination of specific language contexts then follows, from the often very formal, academic terms and concepts used in art and design history and theory to the informal writing and speech of journalism and studio practice. After deconstructing the particular language employed in each case, the book then applies this awareness to those almost universal occasions when students must relate the mute world of visual culture to verbal discourse: interpreting and researching assignments; writing essays, reports and reviews; conducting interviews and questionnaires; making oral presentations of art and design work for peer-group discussion and critical assessment. Suitably enlightened, the student is better able to select and effectively employ language to their advantage. Seller Inventory # 201745
