Course completion at Open University

The course will be held during the spring semester in the fourth teaching period as lecture-based instruction. In the lectures, we will jointly explore the specific characteristics of visual analysis and the evolving field of visual research. The literature component can be completed individually or through reading circle work. Students will also analyze a phenomenon related to the visual domain, either individually or in groups, based on the course literature and lectures (project work).
