Join Shelle Barron (emeritus professor of design and visual artist) for a relevant visual lecture on the history of graphic design and its ability to alter opinions and perceptions. Design has been used for propaganda as well as for social justice. A comprehensive survey of the effect of design on protest and social movements will ask the question: in today’s world, flooded with social media and memes, can design make a difference in the public’s perception of contemporary issues, or even change minds in an election year? Following the presentation, participants will participate in a workshop to create their own visual statements through idea generating, creating text, and using collage and mixed media.
This workshop is operating on a sliding scale. You may purchase the workshop at a rate you feel financially comfortable with, up to the maximum workshop cost of $75. All students will receive the same instruction regardless of payment.
