Signs of the Times: Signs and symbols are everywhere. But what do they mean? How do they help us navigate our complex environments? Get ready to roll up your sleeves! In this course, you'll actively engage in exploring the signs and symbols that surround us through dynamic workshops and creative projects. You'll analyze iconic commercials from well-known brands, uncover the meanings behind popular art and the provocative works of artists like Banksy, and examine political propaganda. Additionally, you'll explore how social media and memes influence public perception and cultural conversations. Throughout the course, you will not only discuss these ideas but also create your own messages, applying what you've learned to effectively communicate in today's visual culture.
