Connections 23012 - Visualizing Information

Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Whether created or analyzed, produced for professional or folk purposes, viewed as data or expression, images are an increasingly common component of contemporary communication in both scholarly and popular venues. Each of the courses in this connection addresses the process of creating information out of images and their display. The increasing reliance on visual imagery in digital communication has put a premium on developing a genuine visual literacy in the encoding and deciphering of visual communication. This connection will allow students to appreciate the importance, power and value of using visual media for both gathering and disseminating knowledge. Two-course connections must include courses from two of the five areas represented in the connection (creative arts, social science, natural science, math/computer science, humanities). Threecourse connections may include courses in two or three of the areas, but no more than one course from any one department. (Two courses from the same area do not constitute a connection.) Connections: Arts 250 Graphic Design I or Arts 350 Graphic Design II or Eng 289 Word and Image with Psy 312 Perception or Soc 282 Visual Sociology and/or with Bio 219 Cell Biology or Bio 254 Developmental Biology and/or with Comp 365 Computer Graphics and/or with Fr 352 The Quill and the Brush
