Powder Sgrafitto Abstract Drawing Day 16 Nunchi

Today's assignment is to draw nunchi in the abstract.  Nunchi is a term that describes the subtle, often unnoticed art of listening and gauging another's mood. An anthropologist named Edward Hall studied and plotted this form of non-verbal communication and created the notion of high- and low-context communication. Nunchi is found to be more common to higher context cultures where meaning in communication is derived from the subtle, tacit actions and reactions of the communicators and not necessarily the words they use. Further, he plotted a continuum of the communication patterns of different cultures which demonstrates that Eastern cultures (Asia, Japan, Korea, Chinese) at the high context, and Western cultures (German-Swiss, German, Scandinavian, North American) are at the low context continuum.  High context relationships are especially important so the manner in which something is said and the attention paid to the audience for those remarks are carefully observed.  Silence can mean that a person is thinking, is showing deference, or is simply taking the time to respond while observing the reactions of the receiver.  A speaker from a high-context culture will understand the importance of that silence and will infer that implicit meanings often speak louder that words.
What are American words for nunchi?  Body language? Vibes? Eye-energy?
