Chapter 8 Review



Chapter eight is all about visual culture and curriculum. Chapter eight discusses what visual culture is. Visual culture is fashion, advertisements, film computer, television, and packaging. Visual culture is "ideas, beliefs, and other conceptual realms that function in and around visual objects." For example, McDonals's is an American culture and custom. Photography is a cultural meditator. Photography is a powerful way to express culture. W.J.T Mitchell challenged the stereotype that visual culture means an end to the distinction between artistic and non-artistic images. He compared Audrey Flacks painting of Marilyn Monroe and a Vogue magazine cover of Renee Zellweger. This challenge has been widely accepted by many artists today. Chapter eight explains everything about visual culture.
