- Title
Painting: A Tool of Non-Verbal Communication.
- Authors
Sharma, Preeti Bala
- Abstract
Communication has been associated with all living beings from the very beginning. We are born with the capacity to communicate. There are many complex feelings which cannot be expressed through verbal means so people, all over the world, use arts, particularly fine arts, in order to express their individual experiences and creativity. Painting is a one form of this art. Through this, much is said without saying anything. The artists symbolize the intended messages and codify them and allow the spectator or viewer to decode and interpret the hidden messages or meanings. Therefore, painting is not only a tool of recording human history, but also a tool of conveying a wide range of the stories, emotions, feelings, inner world symbolically, didactically or in a hidden mode. This paper aims to focus on various ways through which painting remains a tool of non-verbal communication.
