| | "Art" by Clive Bell |
 | | I do not suggest for one moment that their appreciation of art is a thing to be ashamed of; the majority of the charming and intelligent people with whom I am acquainted appreciate visual art impurely; and, by the way, the appreciation of almost all great writers has been impure. | | | A good work of visual art carries a person who is capable of appreciating it out of life into ecstasy: to use art as a means to the emotions of life is to use a telescope of reading the news. | | | I do not say that they cannot understand art; rather I say that they cannot understand the state of mind of those who understand it best. |

| | Visual sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Art, photographs, film, video, fonts, advertisements, computer icons, landscape, architecture, machines, fashion, makeup, hair style, facial expressions, tattoos, and so on are parts of the complex visual communication system produced by members of societies. | | | Visual sociology also requires the development of new forms -- for example, data driven computer graphics to represent complex relationships e.g., changing social networks over time, the primitive accumulation of capital, the flow of labor, relations between theory and practice. | | | In this context, visual sociology draws on the work of Edward Tufte, whose books Envisioning Information and The Visual Display of Quantitative Information address the communication of quantitative information. |

| | Visual Art 10: Module Five - Technology and Visual Art |
| | Students examine how visual artists have used technology as a source of inspiration in developing their ideas about society and how they have used technology in the creation of works of art. | | | In this module, students explore the influence of technology upon artists as it applies to sources of inspiration, the development of ideas or images, and the choice of tools to communicate visual art ideas. | | | Students may not need to know how the technology works but they will need a working knowledge and the ability to adapt to new tools as they are developed. |

| | Blind Spots: |
| | Jane Brodsky (2002) paid homage to Merleau-Ponty and addressed the issue of unification of the senses in her recent article in Visual Studies discussing how art works are made and viewed. | | | It is nearly impossible to write without using visual figures of speech, and fun to use them where they work as puns, but I can’t come close to Martin Jay’s introductory paragraph in which he consciously employed 21 visual metaphors. | | | As visual sociologists we thus engage in a distinctly Cartesian project; treating the visually observed world (including photographs and other representations facilitated by instrumentation) as empirical evidence from which we deduce such mental constructs as social relationships and speculate on their meaning. |

| | A Rationale for Visual Communication |
| | Some theorists believed that humans are genetically wired to communicate visually and that images are often more efficient than words in thought processes—basically an academic version of the proverb that "a picture is worth a thousand words." We heard anecdotal stories, but little quantitative data supported the ideas at that time. | | | The social context of today's college students, for better or worse, is more dependent upon visual communication than before. | | | In 1992 I was setting up a studio for a new computer art course at the College of DuPage. |
