Visual Language: On Images (Session 1)

Program(s): Summer College, Undergraduate Courses

This course is currently at capacity. Students who currently are on the waitlist will be given priority if places become available.

*Taught Online*  Through studio work and critical discussions on 2D form, this course is designed to reveal the conventions of images and image-making. Basic formal elements and principles of art are presented, but they are also put into practice to reveal perennial issues in a visual field. Form is studied as a means to communicate content. Topics as varied as, but not limited to, illusion, analogy, metaphor, time and memory, nature and culture, abstraction, the role of the author, and universal systems can be illuminated through these primary investigations. Participation in studio exercises and group critiques are required.

This section (91) runs for three weeks and focuses on photography-related media and strategies.
