The Celebration Of Visual Narrative Art Through Ages

By Ida Dorsey


Narrative art is an art that tells a story. It is either a sequence of events unfolding over time or an ongoing story. The earliest proof of human art suggest that individuals told stories with images. However, without knowledge of the story being told, it is difficult to read ancient pictures, since they are not well organized in a certain way such as word on a page, but rather unfold in different directions at a single time.

This is also an art that uses great power of the ocular image to create imaginations, induce emotions and capture cultural aspirations and truths. The man distinction between a visual narrative art from other genres of art is the abilities to narrate a certain story in a diverse culture and preserve them for the coming generations.

There are also various forms of narrative around the globe. Some of its driving forms are articulated languages, moving or still images, gestures and all mixture of substances, narrative is always in the history, short stories, legend, myth, fables, paintings, tragedy and comedy.

In addition to that, this specific form of art is also present, in all places and in different societies. It also started with a certain history of the whole mankind. Basically, art tells and illustrate many events of life. It defines a self explanatory event from the lives of people who comes from a folk tale, from a text or from a myth.

Actually, anyone who forget a story telling is also a matter of providing a certain detail or information of stories with a level of visual clutter. It is for them to lose a visual information that start to distract from essential aspects. There are also different ways to approach a narrative way in the images.

There are also some distinguishing characteristics of the visual narrative that includes a persuasive story with a certain point of view, subject matter with pressing environmental, social and spiritual value, an appeal for transportation in behaviors and attitudes and high quality of images.

Great storytellers come from a professions, form of arts and all walks of life. They are unique ones who function both artist and author, influencing and entertaining your imaginations through the creations of literature and arts. There are also some films that redefine and redirect history or tell the future. There are books that set imaginations in the palm of hands and ignite words and emotions.

The level of the ocular record also becomes a great experience, a moment not forgotten and a memory that will be cherished forever. Most of these works have survived the test of time and become part of the cultural and history identities.

Actually, fine arts, game designs, advertising, picture books, graphic books illustration and animation are some of the demands for talented creators.
