Visual Formation in Children's Stories by Arwa Khamees

This study examines the technique of visual formation in children's stories by the Saudi writer Arwa Khamees. It explores the concept of visual formation by analyzing three models: “Ziad and the Moon”, “Sadeen’s Carriage and My Doll”, and “The Listening Game”. The study looks into visual formation aspects such as the cover, colors, drawings, images, shapes, lines, contrasts, page division, and linear extension. It concludes that Arwa Khamees paid significant attention to visual formation in her stories. This attention is so substantial that the written visual formation is enhanced with definitive indications, adding to its clarity and emphasis. Her integration of visual formation in these stories has resulted in a well-balanced relationship between the written and visual texts.
