Looking into the British museums (The British Museum Blog. 2020. A History Of Storytelling Through Pictures. [online] Available at: <https://blog.britishmuseum.org/a-history-of-storytelling-through-pictures/> [Accessed 28 October 2020].) I came across some research sources about storytelling through imagery. i am interested in the origins of storytelling and how I can transfer this traditional practice into ‘modern day’ storytelling with regard to one of the biggest factors we ar experiences currently… Covid 19. I am hoping by researching traditional storytelling I will get to grips with understanding what was of importance of that time. and what kinds of of stories, historys, facts and tales that were recorded through imagery.
African rock art is one of the earliest forms of human made imagery, dating back to 30,000 years. often painted, engraved or drawn onto rock, often conveying narratives on social lives.
Assyrian Palace reliefs, carved from stone situated within the place tell a story read much like a comic strip as each stone carving is the next in the sequence around a room. they usually depicted strong magical figures to protect the king from supernatural forces.
Bayeux Tapestrys are a widely recognised medieval art which also represent an important historical source for the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. this is a form of embroidery onto 8 pieces of linen. likely to have been worked by Anglo-Saxon women to describe historical conquest events of the time.
