Publisher's Synopsis
The communicative and visual arts encompass everything from theatrical performances to comic books and video arcade games. Alternative methods for transmitting information include music, graphics, sound effects, smells, and animation. While these methods have been used by television shows and multimedia products, they are not as widely applied in the field of education. In this handbook, the voices of many teachers - from secondary schools, colleges and universities - call for a more central place for the visual arts in literacy and language education.
