024915 The Multi-arts of Children's Literature

6cp
Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Rosemary Johnston

This subject explores children's literature in terms of verbal and visual arts, heritage arts, literary arts, indigenous and multicultural arts, drama and media arts among other art forms. It proposes children's literature as a multi-faceted art form that is ideologically encoded and involved in intentional advocacies. Language, the prime technology of our media age of communication, finds its strongest and most coherent voice in literature. Children's literature is not only a literary medium; it is also intensely visual, and uses a number of visual art media as well as dramatic techniques to achieve its narrative purposes.
