What is visual literacy--and who is literate? Join guest lecturer James Elkins in an evening of commentary on the many ways we "read" the visual world and assign meaning to what we see.
James Elkins teaches visual theory, criticism, and art history at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is the author of numerous books on art, vision, and visual culture including The Object Stares Back, Painting and Tears, The Domain of Images, and The Poetics of Perspective.
