2 semester hoursUndergraduateSeminarNUpath WIusually offered: fall, springBostonTraditional
Accompanies ARTH 1001. Fosters in-depth discussion, allows for hands-on workshops and facilitates visits to area museums and cultural organizations. Emphasizes the ways digital image technologies are socially constructed and are based on earlier paradigms of classification and differentiation. Seminar meetings demonstrate how to critically read a range of images (e.g. texts, films, videogames, memes, artworks) by paying attention to the ways meaning is often shaped by identarian formations such as race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and ability. Investigates how diverse perspectives enhance the ability to create, while introducing students to creative professionals who actively use visual intelligence in their dynamic careers.
