GO TO GALLERY 1.1 AND 1.2: PAINTING AS NARRATIVE<br />

From 2005 to 2009, Natee Utarit started to use the characters in his paintings to tell a story. In this gallery,<br />

his paintings are stories about Thailand and the Thai society.<br />

<strong>Painting</strong>s are not just images – they can tell stories too.<br />

15. Symbols are images, characters, or figures used to represent something else that share the<br />

same value or meaning to it. For example, a heart shape represents love, while smiley<br />

face is used to express happiness.<br />

What about an upside down horse as seen in this painting White Horse? What do you think<br />

it means to have the horse painted upside down?<br />

16. A horse usually has a knight riding it, but the knight seems to be missing here. What do you<br />

think happened to the knight?<br />
