VCHAT2003 Visual Culture: Modernism to Postmodernism
This unit focuses on visual culture of the 20th century, from Modernism to postmodernism. Attention is given to the key developments in both practice and theory so that students understand how the foundations for contemporary visual culture were laid. As this unit covers a very broad period the emphasis will be given to the `close up¿ examination of selected periods, styles and issues. Attention will be given to the social, philosophical, aesthetic contexts which mediate and inform creative expression. Special attention will be given to the ways in which visual culture functions within a changing world.
