Saturday! Chapter five

Chapter five explains how incorporating senses with images, in order to really get an idea across to the onlooker. Expressionism is introduced as artist wanting to get an idea across through the use of Synesthesia. The texture, tone, color, width, shapes, etc, create a new sense of being able to see such feelings. I personally love this concept, who doesn’t? Through synesthesia new concepts can be argued, painting illusions can be created and just the fact that you’re looking at am image that awakens other sense other than just sight is amazing. It’s what makes an image so unique, because it brings it to life.
In chapter six, the concepts of using text and images together to form a new style of narrative is brought up. It is through the relationship of text and picture that the message of an image can be given off. It depends on the specification of the text in relation to the picture that can send a message across. Every different style or combination amplifies something in the image that allows a message to be sent, and it gives the image such a power that makes it come to life. Without this, disaster would hit because the viewer cannot put a story together without hints in expression and words.
