Question 76

The note below the picture

An original account of an invented illustration exercise.

I drew a person standing beside a suitcase and added the caption, Waiting for the train. My partner pointed out that nothing in the drawing showed a railway. The figure could have been waiting outside a hotel, or preparing to leave a house.

We covered the caption and asked others to describe what they saw. Their suggestions varied widely, although everyone noticed the tightly held handle. The teacher said the caption had narrowed the possibilities. That was useful if I wanted to tell a particular story, but I should know what the words were doing rather than assume that the picture supplied the same information. I drew a station sign in the next version and tried it without a caption.

In this account, what does “narrowed the possibilities” mean?
