Drawing to Visualize Change
Getting back to basics in the digital era, graphic artists from around the world brought their pens and paper to campus for an international forum on graphic recording and visual facilitation.
Thomas E. Franklin, an assistant professor at Montclair State and award-winning photographer, gave a keynote address on the convergence of art, journalism and visual storytelling, while graphic recorders translated his words into images on large sheets of paper.
As host to the International Forum of Visual Practitioners, the University showcased its School of Communication and Media. “The ability to create and present compelling stories across multimedia platforms is critical for leaders in digital media,” says Yi Luo, associate professor and coordinator of the graduate program in Public and Organizational Relations.
