Course 3 – Art and Figure
The aim of this Course is twofold.

Images will be examined in terms of the ‘content’ they construct, the relationship they establish and their internal organisation. Theories of the gaze and the practise of looking, will be considered emphasising that images do not simply reflect the world around us, but actively construct it for us.
