Art 1A: Visual Literacy

University of California, Santa Barbara

Fall 2016
Instructor: Helen Taschian, Ph.D.

I look forward to meeting all of you in class when the quarter begins! Please be sure to go to Associated Students to pick up your course reader, and to the campus bookstore to pick up John Berger's Ways of Seeing.

Be sure to read the first assigned article, Carl Matheson's "The Simpsons, Hyper-Irony and the Meaning of Life" for the first lecture.

Additionally, if you are not already on Twitter, please set up an account for this class because many of our assignments will include Tweeting responses to works of art.
