Description
This course studies books with pictures in them, although we will occasionally ditch the books altogether to look at pictures in the Berkeley Art Museum and to watch moving pictures. We will study the relationship between image and text in a variety of media. Whether viewing high art or reading web comics, we will ask: how do images and words convey meaning? Do they convey the same kind of meaning? How do they work together?
