Synopsis

The history of representation has cultural implications that are framed by considerations of belief, class, ethnicity, gender, nationality, and philosophy. This course addresses aspects of these issues of social and cultural discourse as they challenge and shape current arts practice. Visual communication through the visual language of imagery will be explored to analyze and define the position and relationship between artist, audience, and artwork within a cultural and historical context.
