ART 103H - Honors visual Culture

Institution:

Camden County College

Subject:

Description:

This course will focus on aspects of culture that rely on visual images: the fine arts, photography, advertising, comic books, film, television and the Internet. The proliferation of visual media and the blurring of boundaries between high and low art demand active rather passive participants. The course is organized thematically and designed to encourage students to engage with a number of questions and issues that are critical to living in today's increasingly visual age. For instance do all cultures rely upon the same battery of concepts to define the aesthetic? How are perceptions of visual culture and of art shaped not only by culture but also by history? In addition students will explore connections between visual media and imagery as it relates to cultural, social, religious, political and aesthetic change. Lecture ( 45.00)
