Are these four-letter word projects writing? (What is writing anyway?) Are these more properly termed compositions? Inscriptions? Something else?
No, the four-letter word projects are not writing. They are video montages. Images cannot do what words do. However, the write-up from the four-letter word projects can be considered writing. Writing, to me, is words on a page; therefore, the write-up of the project is writing because using words, we described our images. If images could do exactly what words could do, a write-up for this project would not have been necessary.
Thank you for your thoughtful post. I agree with you that the four-letter word projects are not writing. You make an interesting point that writing is words on a page. I agree with these, whether it is a webpage or a page of paper. I actually think that images can do what words do, but only somethings. Thank you for your post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that in some instances images can work, but I would much rather rely on words than images.
