Images and text create a dynamic relation which when unravelled creates several questions. One might say that images signify by virtue of resemblance or imitation, words by contrast are arbitrary signs, part of a language that signify by virtue of custom or convention. Simply saying that images are resemblance may not be sufficient for sometimes they resemble other images, illusions, imaginations and creations. Be as that may, an image also signifies something because of a social agreement or convention, an intersection with language, not just by virtue of resemblance. The relationship becomes more intertwined and playful when storytelling becomes a factor. The project is a way to gather a better understanding of this relationship through the lens of stories, especially those in the curriculum of CBSE. A personal motivation comes from the standpoint of being an illustrator and storyteller myself. When does an image supplement, contradict or simply gets along with text. Are their ways to objectively look at images and their relation with words. Moreover the involvement of children allows for a fresher perspective, garnering ways of seeing an image when there exists familiarity with the text. A simple match between text and image may never be enough, far from ideal, they may complement each other, help push the message through contradiction or encourage discovery. A viewer’s relation with the two and the way in which she participated (or doesn’t) affects the relationship as well. These questions are complex. Storytelling through the interplay or word-image may demand fulfilment of some factors as well. Discovering the same is attempted.
