The importance of drawing people’s expressions
The drawings below are part of a series produced in Guatemala for teaching
mothers about child nutrition.* The health worker holds up a picture and asks,
“What do you see?” or “What is happening here?” The women look at the
pictures and at once they notice the expressions on the faces of the mother and
child.
These expressions tell the message more clearly than words.
Be sure the expressions and ‘body language’ of pictures agree with and strengthen
the message you want to communicate.
