Today was our first time doing visual communication, we first sat down and discussed a number of paintings and how they came across to us.
The first image we observed was the scream, our class had very different views and we all put our ideas toghether to figure out how the painting is being protrayed.
The second image is known as 'ich habe angst' this confused our class at first as we didnt understand the purpose of it, however after it being explained it to us we all began to gain an understanding of its significance.
We the watched a short clip on youtube called the big shave by Martin Scorseses, it was very different to what I was expecting and showed a man cutting himself with a razor and slowly bleeding to death. I found this clip very unusual and didnt at all understand the purpose of it. However it was meant to be a propoganda against the Vietnam war, as it would disturb the American people to see a young white male trying to practically kill himself.
