The Changing Spaces of Reading and Writing

Text

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.

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?
