First Lesson!

Last week we had our first lesson of visual communication with Suzie.  We looked at aspects of different logos and how by just seeing a certain logo, for example; when we see a yellow M, we know straight away that its for McDonald's.  We also looked at how an image can portray a certain feeling and we can try and understand what the artist was trying to portray when the picture was being created.  An example of this is;

We said that this picture is trying portray that the person has agony, deep thought and may anxiety issues.  We then watched a video called;  'The Big Shave' by Martin Scorcese.  Before watching the video Suzie hadnt told us the meaning behind it and to be honest whilst watching the video I was a bit shocked about what the man was doing.  However, once Suzie had explained the meaning of the video, which is; the man was shaving and kept on shaving and shaving until he was bleeding and it represent men at war.  So once Suzie explained that I thought it was a good way to explain it, even though it was shocking.
