1. Overall Focus
“to explore how children construct meaning from visual images in complex narratives in order to create strategies that will develop critical literary skills”
2. Theories;
method = visual analysis
Method= annotates spread
Select image from book, subjects annotate images with questions and comments
3. Moves
Annotate the images
Analysis = reporting what annotations were
Applied classification system that reflected levels of thinking
· Experiential
· Interpersonal
· Compositional
· Interpretive
· Other
Hypothesis: there is a sequential move from the experiential level to other levels in the construction of meaning
4. Organization
Intro: overview of main point
Background:
Research subjects
Other sutides
About the text:
Summary of story + how author went about storytelling
Method
Spread method description (but do not include method for classifying annotations)
Data analysis
Present classification categories
Present results by level + comment
Used tables
Discussion + conclusions
5. Gathering information about images also information about how subjects interpret the image
Could provide psychological information
Development of collaborative thinking
Idea generating prompt
How different groups interact with images
Great exercise using the method from the article!
Visual analysis is related to discourse analysis
Because it depends heavily on notion of intertextuality.
ð How texts and Images interact
ð Meaning depends on image + cultural associations with that image, personal experiences, conventions associate with the image
Placement, size, juxtaposition, texture, color, lighting, implied movement
Associations with particular images
Two kinds of discourse analysis
Discourse Anlaysis 1 =Deals with text (image itself), concern with HOW an interpretation (truth) is created
Discourse Analysis 2 =Deals with the creation of a subject or a way of seeing
