ART 4387 - Visual Studies Seminar

Credits: 3 hrs

The omnipresence of digital media and its influence on culture has created an increasing interest in the study of visual culture. Visual Studies recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the current research in the arts, humanities, and sciences, with a focus on the important influence images have on this work. This course will emphasize oral presentations based on student research, readings, projects, and classroom discussion. Through this process students will come to better understand the role of the visual image in our contemporary culture. Students will complete a final project or thesis; this course is the capstone of the Visual Studies minor.
Pre-requisite(s): Permission of the instructor.
