ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to stimulate students via non-orthodox sources, to liberate those who find written sources either problematic or routine, and to catalyse discussion around the visual sources. Written sources can be complemented by other types of visual stimuli: cartoons, paintings, photographs, posters, images, graphs, diagrams and other sorts of nonlinear stimulus. In all subjects, sources are usually written and linear. Too often perhaps, tutors neglect to vary the type of material presented to students. With this activity the emphasis is on non-written and non-linear stimuli. Advances of this activity are, it varies the standard approach, it encourages students to think in new and different ways and it exposes students to an array of different, powerful and important sources.
