Grade 10 Art - Day 74: "Artistic Conventions: Narrative Art"

Joe Forkan, The Deposition (scene from The Big Lebowski)

"Narrative Art tells a story. It uses the power of the visual image to ignite imaginations, evoke emotions and capture universal cultural truths and aspirations. What distinguishes Narrative Art from other genres is its ability to narrate a story across diverse cultures, preserving it for future generations."

- Lucas Museum

Let's take a virtual tour of a museum dedicated to narrative art, the aforementioned Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.  We will start at this link and proceed:
