Here is a link to a really interesting site where they use words to create some very powerful pictures. http://designm.ag/inspiration/text-art/. Text can literally be used to create pictures, which is what text does in a more abstract sense. It is through text whether it is a poem, instructions, a narrative, or just a name- the reader creates a picture from interacting with the text.

I was born in Saskatchewan but moved to Alberta at a young age. I graduated from UBC with a B.Ed. I have been teaching or working in the literacy field for a long time. I began my teaching career in Nigeria and am now employed by Palliser Regional School in Alberta where I teach Math in a small rural jr-sr high school. I am currently on leave this year so I can complete my degree.
My husband and I have three children, the last of which has just flown the nest. This will be a year of major changes!! We have a passion for travelling. We have lived in Africa for several years, and have also wandered around the world for a year. We also love to ski, hike, read and spend time with family and friends.

Bev,
Thank you for sharing! I thought the pictures were beautiful. I like the idea of images as texts. The artwork becomes layered in meaning, for example the picture of Obama, the text, the image, and then the political implications. A wonderful find! How did you come across it?
