Reading or interpreting images

A very important aspect of the project is the use of narrative to interpret the still images.

In my own postcard project 'The Secret History of Goddess Sites' I'm interested in the secret history of a place - so whatever image you see there is a story behind it. I think that was communicated to the kids. (Laurie Long)

In the gallery looking at photographs of passers by in streetscapes, children were invited to imagine what the people in the picture were doing and thinking. For example: if in groups; what was their relationship to each other and what were they saying? What were they like; what had just happened; what was going to happen?
