Week 2- Reading Words and Images

Notes from the Lecture. 

ANCHORAGE- The words that accompany an image (still or moving) give the meaning associated with that image. If the caption or voiceover is changed, then so may be the way in which the audience interprets the image. An image with an anchor is a closed text; the audience are given a preferred reading

INTERTEXTUALITY- the relationship between texts, especially literary ones.

The Treachery of Images by René Magritte

The Treachery of Images is a painting of a pipe with the words, 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe' written beneath it; this translates into This is not a pipe. 

One of our tasks was to make a copy of the famous painting. Here is my attempt below; it was done using Procreate on my iPad.
