===What is this unit about? ===

A picture tells a thousand stories, they say! Have you ever wondered about how a picture can tell a story?   

A picture tells a thousand stories, they say! Have you ever wondered about how a picture can tell a story?  When we hear a story, when we read a story, our mind forms an image of what is being described.  They make us connect to the story.  Similarly, when we see a picture, our mind tries to build the story from the picture.  No wonder that picture story books have been favourite reading books for children and adults.

In this unit, we will learn how we can use pictures as a method of story telling.  Story telling is a traditional method of transmitting information from one person to another; one generation to another.  Story telling can also be used to create awareness about social issues and challenges - talk to your teacher about how Burra Katha emerged as an art form in Telangana. Drawing pictures is also not new - human beings have been using pictures to tell stories, describe things throughout our history - from cave paintings to Deccani paintings to the comic strip or to the movie poster.
