Discussion: Visual Form Write

Your response this week is two parts:

First, in the video you watched for this module, Mouly says, “I've always been captivated by how an image can -- a simple drawing -- can cut through the torrent of images that we see every single day. How it can capture a moment, how it can crystallize a social trend or a complex event in a way that a lot of words wouldn't be able to do -- and reduce it to its essence and turn it into a cartoon.” Does a visual image really have that much of an impact? Do agree that it creates an impact that “words wouldn’t be able to do”?

Second, have fun analyzing a visual image of your choice. It can be a painting, cartoon, photograph, or even you’re an image you took on your own. Explain:

The title/author Where the original is located (on the web or a physical location)? Why did it stand out to you and why did you selected it for analysis? What is the meaning and does it “crystallize” a particular event or social trend? What does it do that words can’t? (You might even say that words would convey MORE meaning or it has no meaning without adding words.)
