Conjoint: BA/BGlobalSt module in Visual Literacy: Researching Images

We live in a world that is increasingly saturated by images and visual information. Being able to read and understand images across a range of media and platforms is crucial in articulating ideas and communicating effectively.
This module brings together various approaches to studying, researching and interpreting photographs, digital images, historical illustrations, artworks, the moving image, diagrams and body language.
You will learn how to critically analyse the way images are described and used, and relate them to a broader cultural context.

You will be equipped with a greater sense of visual design and an awareness and understanding of the power and significance of images in various formats. You will gain skills in visual literacy and communication.
