Learn to tell stories by combining different languages, such as words, video, and photography to express your emotions in an original way.
When we read poetry, an infinity of images are associated with the verses. And each person will create a totally different album for the same poem. Lina Botero knows how to handle languages that feed each other when they get together and we make them talk.
In this online course, you will learn that a picture is not necessarily worth a thousand words. If not, it is potentiated when the words go beyond the visual description.

A course by Lina Botero
Lina Botero studied Audiovisual Communication. Everything she does is mediated by her need to express. Either with the word, with the fixed or moving image, with sound or with some physical or digital format, in which a story can fit.
As a visual storyteller, she has collaborated with different digital and print media in Colombia, directed audiovisual projects, portrayed artists and festivals, and made still photography for movies and web series. At the same time, she has dedicated herself to capturing her country with her camera and keeping a diary at every moment of her life, sharing part of these records on social networks.

PlusEsto NO es un curso. Subes los ejercicios al foro y NADIE te los revisa, te da feedback o cualquier acción propia de una profesora. Solo es un conjunto de videos y apañatelas.
Tampoco presenta contenidos novedosos. Solo es poner imágenes a textos, algo que yo llevo años haciendo por mi cuenta.
