VPA 102 - Introduction to Visual Thinking

Three Credits
Fall Semesters

This class is meant as an introduction to the theories and practices of our contemporary visual world. We will look at a range of imagery from fine art, to advertisements, to family photographs as a way to understand the images but also as a way to understand ourselves. Foundational concepts in visual art theory and composition will be introduced through reading texts, looking at art, and engaging with artists. The class will also use these concepts as a lens to explore contemporary culture as we experience it in the news, online and at home.
