COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGES THROUGH VISUAL ARTS
1. THE THEME
For the International Day of Persons with Disabilites, which the United Nations celebrate every year on 3 December, the Associazione Premio Eleanor Worthington proposes the prize giving event of the fourth year of the Prize in memory of Eleanor Worthington, for students in tertiary education.
Eleanor Worthington (York, UK, 1982 – Urbino, Italy, 2008) suffered lifelong from a severe form of epilepsy and learning and behavioural difficulties, and spent her last five years immobile and confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak, and only expressing herself with her eyes and face. Beyond her disabilities, she was a person of high intelligence and sensibility, and with a great force of personality. She succeeded in having a life full of affection, social relations, and experiences, both in the UK and in Italy, where she attended all the years of the Istituto Statale d’Arte (now Liceo Artistico) in Urbino.
As the theme for this year’s Prize the Associazione Premio Eleanor Worthington proposes:
International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGES THROUGH VISUAL ARTS
Communication barriers, and especially with disabled people, can also be overcome through the languages of visual communication, which allows for an effective interaction different from the written and verbal form of communication.
Candidates are invited to explore the languages of visual communication through various techniques (eg painting, sculpture, illustration, animation, graphic design, engraving, jewellery making, photogrpahy, design, lettering, and new technologies), also with reference to body expression like miming, sign language, sport disciplines, fitness and dance
