Course Description
Considers the design, technology, and meaning of the visual images that saturate our everyday lives. Visual images shape our experiences; they teach, inspire, communicate ideas, display identity, reinforce or disrupt power structures, and promote commerce. New visual technologies circulate these ideas on a global scale. Students will have an opportunity to develop critical engagement with the visual world, analyzing cultural and representational issues related to the self and community, such as power, surveillance, desire, the body, sexuality, and ethnicity. Includes study of paintings, prints, photographs, video, advertisements, digital media, urban design, and representational practices in medicine and science.
