Introduces students to analyzing artworks through semiotics, psychoanalysis, and related topics. Students engage with images, objects, sounds, and artistic production in the context of language and communication, exploring how meaning is layered and conveyed. Students challenge conventional ways of reading art, question material choices and methods, and articulate systems of influence at play in their work. Through creating artworks and participating in group critiques, students apply concepts from class to support their artistic development.
