AH 2050 - History of Graphic Design

Credits: 3

This seminar and research course addresses important historical and contemporary developments in visual communication. Beginning with the roots of pictorial and written languages, the content moves to key 19th and 20th century periods (including the emergence of the Bauhaus and typographic history), then culminates with the contemporary scene. At the conclusion this course, students will have engaged in reading, writing, and verbal critical thinking skills—both as individuals and in teams. Students will understand the embedded relationships between graphic design, culture, technology, and society.

Prerequisites: AH 1000 - Introduction to Art + Visual Design  or AH 1100 - Art History I: Ancient to Medieval .
Notes: Offered online only.
