Objectives:
This course is aimed at introducing to students the potential of Graphic Reportage as a medium of communicating complex ideas, and making them accessible to diverse audiences.
The course will emphasize the development of observation skills and methods. It will familiarize participants with the process of researching stories in the field, and the use of drawing, writing and photography as means of storytelling.
Course Outline:
This course will involve classroom lectures, presentations and discussions combined with field visits. Participants will be given inputs on constructing simple visual narratives using text, drawings and photography, and then taken to a living community sites in mining affected areas in order to collect and record visual narratives.
