===What is this unit about? ===
A picture tells a thousand stories, they say! We all have enjoyed beautifully drawn, illustrated story books. With digital technologies, a new whole new world has been created in terms of expressing oneself through art. The availability of new tools has also made it possible for us to create new communication outputs; moving away from a text-only approachSome people communicate better with text, some with pictures, some with speech - ICTs allow for ways of expression using these multiple methods.

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 storySimilarly, when we see a picture, our mind tries to build the story from the picture.  No wonder that picture story books are favourite reading books for children and adults.
  
Effective communication now, therefore, depends on how well we are able to construct a story, the appropriate use of images, audio and video.  In this unit we will focus on how we can use graphics tools to make richer and more meaningful communication.

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 [[wikipedia:Burra_katha|Burra Katha]] emerged as an art form in Telangana. Drawing pictures is also not new.

Can you guess what is new about this unit?  Yes, it is the use of new, digital methods to create pictures and combining them with text. This field of ICT involving the creation of visual (pictures and text) stories is called [[wikipedia:Graphics|graphics]] and is developing fast as a method of developing communication.  In the earlier unit on data processing, you saw how data is represented in multiple formats - through text, numbers, and maps, photos and pictures.

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? 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 are 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.

This field of ICT involving the creation of visual (pictures and text) stories is called graphics and is developing fast as a method of developing communication. In the earlier unit on data processing, you saw how data is represented in multiple formats - through text, numbers, and maps, photos and pictures.

In this unit, we will focus on how we can use digital methods to create such graphic representations. You will be creating with ICT, interacting with various ICT applications and devices and developing messages for communication.

You would have learnt to type in Telugu and make a concept map in the activities in the data representation and processing unit. You would have also learnt to make simple documents with a text processor. All these skills you will learn in the unit on data representation and processing will help you develop your graphic communication.
  • You will continue to add to your portfolio. You should look at your portfolio as a library for learning various subjects. This theme also will be covered across classes 6,7 and 8 through the following three levels, respectively.
