Zie bijv.: 'this sculpture is distinguished by a unique visual language and syntax' (referentie 1) 'understand how artists have used visual language and symbols through time and across cultures' (referentie 2) Reference: http://uk.cambridge.org/art/medieval/intro.htm Reference: http://www.education-world.com/a_tsl/archives/00-1/lesson002... |
