Description

Telling Stories: The Art of Narrative will introduce you to the ways in which stories are created, constructed and realised by their authors. Through a study of texts, films, visual and other forms of story telling you will examine and respond to the world of the writer. You will critically examine writing in its many forms and will create your own narratives.

The course will cover a number of key aspects of the art of storytelling, such as:

1) telling stories verbally

2) telling stories with images alone

3) telling stories with words and images

4) telling stories with sound, images and words.

You will be asked to create many different stories via different modes. Narrative as art will also be studied.
