Abstract: This theoretical article explores the relationship between memoir and visual art, with a particular focus on the use of drawing to enhance the narrative structure and emotional impact of the text. Drawing on theories of visual storytelling and visual thinking, the article argues that drawing can be used to convey information, emotion, and meaning in a memoir in ways that written language cannot. The article also analyzes the interplay between text and image in memoir, including the use of sequential art and the representation of memory. By the end of the article, readers will have a deeper understanding of the theoretical framework behind the use of drawing in memoir and its potential to enhance the reader’s experience.
