Online assignments on revel (10%), due nov 28. Subjective meaning: arguing what you see has some validity. Translation of nonverbal material to verbal material. Visual artists: take an idea, and turn it into an image. Image, shading: mass production (printing press) - engraving. Time frame: this image is from 1917: contemporary aunt jemima. At the time this shows the same level of historical elements as the modern one does. Still a homemade feel: preparation of the mix, rather than the branding. Less focus on image of her and more towards to image of the pancakes. Betye saar, the liberation of aunt jemima, 1972. Image , self consciously talking about other images. Holding a broom instead of a gun -- black pride. Multiple copies of the same smiling aunt jemima face.
