CM 250 Visual Cultures

This introductory study of contemporary visual cultures examines our assumptions about visual imagery, modes of visual thinking and reflecting and analysis of images in social and cultural contexts. Emphasis is on methodical reading of critical texts and exercises in analyzing images as well perspectives on visual cultures, with strong consideration of social history of mechanical inventions (camera, cinematograph, television, computer, virtual machines). Explorations are of alternative forms of visual imagery and their cultural significance.

Prerequisite: CM 101  and Advanced sophomore standing.
