The question is presented below. Think carefully about your response. We will have our last class on Wednesday Dec. 4 during which time you may ask questions about the format, requirements, etc.

QUESTION:
Throughout history meaningful connections have been forged between people and ‘living’ images. This is particularly evident in the history of icons though it is also evident in a host of other images that have woven their way into the fabric of our lives. Using examples from the lectures and / or readings discuss several diverse types of images that rely upon our double consciousness to give them meaning and purpose in our culture.
