Course Objective

This class aims to analyse organizations of images with the help of opportunities of written and verbal narratives, by focusing on the problem of generating visuals and images through works like painting, photography, film, video and performance. It tries to find a way into the universe of meaning and connotation of a chosen image (a symbol). It intends to reproduce meaning by emphasizing the privilege of an organization of images within the context of contemporary art theory and philosophy.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The students attending this class, are expected to understand that the processes of creating an organization of images, or the experience of verbal and written explanation are creative activities,
2   embrace that the approach to an analysis of a work of art with the help of the indicators, is a fact of visual culture.
3   see that the approaches of analysing a work of art and criticizing it through the language of writing can be analyzed within a sequenced logic and with the help of related processes.
4   know that the historical, cultural and political data about the development of societies and art will help with a clearer identification of a work of art.
5   see that a better context for production of meaning will be provided through the appropriate use of information about the work of art, the artist and the viewer.
