VISUAL CULTURE & CREATIVITY.

Catalog description

A critical investigation of personal, national, and global identities. Personal and communal narratives surrounding visual culture define and construct meaning in our everyday lives. Visual culture is investigated as a site through which social and cultural definitions, norms and values, and expectations are reinforced, constructed as well as challenged. The goals for this course are to develop students' skills in critical thinking that revolve around artwork, writing, reading, and oral expression and foster an understanding of the pluralistic nature of institutions, society, and culture(s) of the United States and beyond. Prerequisite: 6 credits from the following Art Foundations courses: ART 1305 , ART 1306 , ART 1307 , or ART 2304 .
