I suppose one could define a visual narrative as a form of visual art which tells a story: movies, comics, and children's books are all examples of visual narrative. Some passage of time and events, or at least a suggestion of these, must be present. Basically, a visual narrative primarily uses images instead of words or sounds to tell a story.
I think it is interesting how many types of visual narrative are combined with other forms of communication. For example, movies and cartoons are accompanied by auditory imagery--sound effects, music, and dialogue. And a comic or children's book is often accompanied by written storytelling. Visual narratives in their most popular formats are almost always combined with some other form of narration.
