Course Content (Syllabus)
The aim of the course, following the well-known saying: a picture is worth a thousand words, is to familiarise students with the broad concept of 'image' and the multidimensional power of works of art and cultural artefacts, as well as to explore various ways of using them -in and outside the museum- in reading and interpreting either other subjects of the curriculum or the phenomena of life.
Main thematic axes:
- The arts (with an emphasis on the visual arts) as an open picture book that tells several "stories" simultaneously: of the creator, of the illustrated, of their time and of the creator's time, of their status and their society, of the world and our culture.
- Visual Literacy: Characteristics, Symbols and Methods of Interpretation
- Issues of Aesthetics and Meaning: The role of images in textbooks and children's books
- Interdisciplinary examples: Art and the teaching of literature and history
- Multimodal reading through the arts
