    Description
    This course explores the power of visual culture including analysis of how visual culture creates and mediates meaning. Emphasis is placed on understanding and using principles of inductive and deductive reasoning as well as on evaluation and creation of argument, persuasion, and criticism of visual culture topics from both visual and textual sources. Students will investigate our rich visual world which includes art, advertisements, illustrations, and many other forms of visual communication that inform and mediate every aspect of our lives.
