The purpose of this course is to introduce the field of visual literacy and media studies at a foundational level. Learn to analyze, interpret, and understand the role that images and media play in your life and in our culture. Central to the course is a study of the artistic expression and creative process integral to images in the ever-changing media landscape such as advertising, consumer objects, photography, fashion, film and television through design and semiotic analysis. Students will also consider media ownership and its impact, as well as race, class, and gender, in mainstream media. They will also develop skills in "reading" images in the media and how they are influenced by, and an influence of, culture. This course was previously COMM 1025 Media Literacy and ART-222424 Media and Visual Literacy.
