Description

Discusses the impact of the visual image and its use in society to develop consent among public opinion. Starting with the Communication theory of Marshall McLuhan that “the medium is the message,” students will begin to understand how the forms and methods (“media”) used to communicate information have a significant impact on the messages themselves. Also examines how the use of art and visual imagery has been used throughout history as propaganda to win support for wars, political ideas, and social movements.
