Visual language often has a message or a meaning. Sometimes those message a unclear or hidden.
Things in the background can give us clues about what might be happening.
What can we ask to help us understand the message of an image?
- Why is she wearing a mask?
- Why is she carrying a lamb?
- How come there are no other animals around?
- What is she looking at?
- Is she running away from something? What is it?
- What is just outside the frame? What can’t we see?
What might be outside the frame?
- There could be a house
- Maybe there are other animals
- Maybe there has been a fire - Is the sky full of grey clouds or is it smokey?
What is our eye drawn to first?
- The girl - She is wearing bright red, she is close to the front and is the biggest thing in the picture, it is unusual to see someone carrying a lamb and wearing a mask.
What message can we take from the photo?
- Never leave anyone behind.
- Be selfless.
- Even when you are protecting others make sure you protect yourself.
