The Course
An introduction to how we look at, analyze and understand both art and ‘non-art’ images encountered in everyday experience
The aim of the course is to provide the means to understand images, both still and moving, real and imagined. In order to do this, it is necessary to examine the sense of sight and the role of the brain in the construction of the visual experience
A goal of the course is learn how to make a selection of ‘Art Stories’ (digital video narrative stories about selected objects). When completed, these will be published in the form of an iBook Textbook through the Apple iTunes Book Store
