For the teaching of Astronomy, the article disputes if the complexity of the object and the phenomena in Astronomy require the use of visual language together with the verbal language, that is: if it requires verbal integration (narration) and the non-verbal one (graphic- design expressions). For the discussion, I extract two stories with two drawings from a case study on the Formation of the Universe. I show the students that they have developed "visual concepts", to single out phe nomena on the theme and the narrating logic, in which the parts were conformed having in view a notion of the final story. These discussions are supported by the Piercian semiotic for the narrations; and by the stud ies of visual perception (Gestalt).
