| Synopsis : | How do graphic expressions originate? What attributes, structural formations and developmental tendencies are observable in early graphic expressions? Is that which emerges a product or a process? Are its attributes universal or are they always bound to the specific cultural context from which they arise? Wherein lie early pictorial awareness and aesthetics? What general aspects of early human symbolic behaviour do early graphic expressions convey? Join Prof Dieter Maurer from the Zurich University of the Arts, as he talks about: - Early graphic expressions of children (drawings and paintings; ages c. 1 to 6; ontogeny) - Aspects of semiotics and picture theory - Some indications on prehistorical aspects (phylogeny) - The early development of "meaning" in pictures Presented by Galeri PETRONAS as part of their public programmes. |
