This course traces the historical trends that have shaped these contradictions. Transferable.*
Explore how the aesthetic and technical development of the cinema (from 1941 to the present) defined, refined and changed the nature of the medium and the way we see in the context of historical, cultural, political and socio-economic determinants/ influences.

In this course students will learn the rhetoric of visual communication as a form of persuasion that produces an intellectual and physical transformation in the viewer. Rather than asking what images mean, the emphasis is on how images work in a variety of contexts to convey the intended meaning of the artist/ designer to a desired audience. This is a different approach from the usual critical theory class in which the goal is to understand different theoretical frames, models of interpretation or a prior condition of meaning. Instead, following the lessons of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, this course will explore how the question of meaning begins only after a desired effect (or affect) is produceda model based on intentionalism.

Course Credit
74
Course credit is awarded for completion of all Art Center at Night courses, with the exception of certain specialized noncredit workshops. The number of credits given is listed next to each course title. Inquiries regarding the transferability of credits to another institution should be directed to that institution.
Transferable Courses
Some foundation courses offered in the Art Center at Night program parallel the content of those offered in the full-time bachelors degree program. These courses are marked as transferable in the course description and are eligible for transfer to Art Centers degree program with a grade of B or better. Students applying to the degree program may carry these credits with them, depending upon the transfer policy in effect at the time of admission. Students should select courses based on the appropriateness of the course to their chosen goals and not necessarily based on transferability. For Current Art Center Degree-Program Students Only: Art Center at Night course credits will NOT transfer toward your degree. Grades, however, will appear on Art Center at Night transcripts.
*N: Students failing a course due to non-attendance will receive an N (Non-Attendance Failure) grade for the course. The N grade has the same GPA impact as an F grade, but specifically indicates that non-attendance was the cause of the failure. As is the case with F grades, students may retake a course in which they received an N to replace it in the cumulative GPA. The original N grade must still appear on the transcript, but it will be denoted with an asterisk (*) to show that it has been repeated in a subsequent term, and the GPA will be adjusted to reflect the repeated courses grade. Note: Art Center at Night students are required to register and pay the full course tuition (and any required lab or materials fees) in order to retake a course.

Student Story: A World of Opportunities

I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, but I moved to Glendale when I was 10 years old. Its been a real blessing. As a kid, I was always drawing and experimenting with images, but the thought of pursuing art as a career never crossed my mind. That would have been unimaginable. Those opportunities just dont exist in Iran. I began to see things differently once I entered high school. I started taking more art classes and, with the guidance of my art teachers, I began to realize that there were real opportunities out here to be an artist. When I first told my parents that I wanted to be an artist they didnt take it seriously because they werent aware of the possibilities either. Over the years, Ive had to prove to myself and them that Im serious and that there are a lot of well-paid, well-respected fields out there for creative individuals. After high school I became very serious about pursuing art and illustration. I started drawing and painting every single day and exploring how different cultures throughout history have approached art making. I also decided that if I was going to make a career as a commercial artist, that I wanted to be well prepared for it. And that if I was going to go to school for it, that I was going to come out of school having all the necessary skillsnot just technical skills, but the knowledge of how to operate professionally. Thats what attracted me to Art Centerits well known and respected for its rigorous training and for preparing people for the creative workforce. Right now Im studying at Pasadena City College, but Ive taken several Art Center at Night courses and Art Center is my number one choice for where I want to go next in my studies. Last term I took Illustration Techniques with Robert Pastrana, who showed the class what its really like to be an illustrator. He taught us processes for brainstorming and for making images efficiently and he explained to us the different types of jobs illustrators get in the real world. I really appreciated his approach because I want to be wellprepared for what Im getting myself into. And that course really opened my eyes.
