Media Aesthetics

Undergraduate

An intermediate study of principles and tools to understand the formal qualities of visual signification within the broader contours of visual culture. Students learn aesthetic and technical terms, rules, conventions, and social assumptions used to construct meaning–across media forms and platforms– through sound, still and moving images, texts, or graphics. The course offers a conceptual grounding for producers, consumers, and critics of media culture. (Prerequisite: one of CMAF-2250, CMAF-2400, CMAF-2410, CMAF-2310, or CMAF-2320.) 76 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar
