From the list of briefs, currently 2 have grabbed my attention. The first is to talk about how portraits are used in society at different points.
- "Given that aspects of portraiture evoke the standards of representation at a given time, discuss whether these works of art are a representation of an individual, or a depiction of someone who belongs within a society."
For this topic I could research a range of cultural times, quite important times in history and reflect on the use of portraiture within those times, both dark times and light times to see how they differ, and explore both how they can reflect each person as well as the culture of certain societies at that time.
- "Semiotics is known as the ‘science of signs’ and has evolved to infiltrate all aspects of visual culture. Choose four popular cultural artefacts such as advertisements, posters, or illustrations, and offer an in depth semiotic analysis of their meanings via the use of sign, dialogic, symbol and index. Discuss in terms of symbolism, and/or a fragment standing for the whole."
I need to create an indepth analysis and reflect on my findings with at least 3000 words, but no more than 3300. I need substantial research documenting each topic from the lectures in both written and visual forms and submit both the journal and essay as one on 19/01/15.
