Communicating (Week 2, Applied)

This illustration displays my interpretation of communication. I decided to draw a man who is delivering a speech to be my main "sender" of the information. Their are many different receivers in the audience who are communicating differently to the speaker. One of the members of the audience is verballing communicating with the speaker by saying, "YES!" in agreement with the speaker. However, there is another member of the audience who is nonverbally communicating with the speaker. This member of the audience is simply laying down which portrays that he is uninterested in the speaker's speech. This is a good example of intentional nonverbal communication because this character wants the speaker to know that he is boring him to sleep. Additionally, sometimes people can unintentionally employ nonverbal communication to portray that they are uninterested by wandering eyes. However, these messages can also be interpreted the wrong way because a person who is interested may be nonverbally looking like they are uninterested because of the interference around them. In this picture i have two different examples of interference; there is one person talking to the person standing next to them which a distraction for all the member of the audience. Also, the speaker is right next to the street which is another form of interference because the background noise is making it difficult for people to hear the speaker. This drawing that i have created contains all of the crucial parts of communication, along with some of the variables that one can encounter while communicating.
