All of us consume, create, and draw conclusions from the visual culture we encounter on a daily basis, often doing so unconsciously, without thinking about what is and isn't made visible in the images around us. This course proposes to develop students' visual thinking skills to make them critical consumers, creators, and analyzers of all aspects of visual culture from art to advertising, fashion, photojournalism, film, and television. The course will discuss the ways in which images always have been and continue to be central to the representation of meaning in the world and introduce students to methods they will use to respond critically, analytically, and creatively. Class discussions will center on issues related to globalization, postmodernism, structures of power, gender, and the gaze, among others. Students will complete both written and visual as well as creative and analytical assignments.
