About this course
This course chronicles the evolutionary span of human visual communication including pictographs, signs and symbols as fundamental means to communicate across cultures, space and time. Over time numerous icons have been developed, interpreted, modified and reproduced through petroglyphs, cave paintings, from aboriginal dreamtime to contemporary computer graphics and advertising. Since the scope of this narrative is enormous, this course will focus its address from prehistoric to 70,000 B.C.E. to 1 century A.D. with less emphasis on the period thereafter.
