Colour, line, movement and face are discussed here as a part of the neurophysiological capacities of seeing. They are all integral parts of seeing and visual interpretation a part of the world we live in. Visual narratives conveyed via depictions allow imagery not only to represent things but also play active roles in story-telling. Prehistoric art surviving in caves and on rock surfaces, carved figurines, and the installation of the viewer into these are explored in terms of a joint relationship between the image/s and the way our brains work
