This course introduces students to how to use visual texts and techniques to communicate in professional settings. As visual forms of communication become more prominent in communication between organizations and communities, it is important to develop an awareness for how images and artifacts are designed. We will discuss the theory behind visual rhetoric and apply it to real-world case studies throughout this second summer session class. By the end of the course, students will know how to do the following: 1) Use visuals to think critically. By thinking visually, we can understand problems and crystalize our ideas; 2) Analyze and interpret visual artifacts. All visuals are rhetorically constructed. Just like we need to read a text closely, we must also rhetorically analyze advertisements, art, memes, etc.; and 3) Create visual materials to help address a local community problem. This course will include a Sustainable Communities Partnership service-learning component. This course satisfies a requirement for English with a Professional Writing majors, English minors, and counts as an allied requirement for select business majors. It also satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing in the Discipline requirement. Please note that it does not count towards the core literature and writing requirement. Prerequisite: ENGl 201, 202, 203, 204, or 206.
