Critical Thinking and Making: The Visual Archive
Parsons School of Design: School of Art, Media, and Tech
CRN: 7745
Credits: 3
In this class we will explore the relationship between form and content -- how is meaning constructed and communicated through visual language? Through observing, collecting, analyzing, writing, and form making, students will apply design processes involving visual research, concept generation, and craft skills. Driven by research interest, students will use digital and analog means to build visual archives. These collections will be approached as a resource of critical inquiry and will respond to current socio-political issues. Students will develop projects and build skills across media ranging from physical collaging to digital artifacts and more complex visual essays for paper and for screen .
