Notes from Last Lesson

Last lesson, we looked at an image of a painting by Renee Magritte called "The tretchery of Images". The painting is an image of a pipe and the caption underneath reads "Leci n'est pas une pipe". This is French for "This is not a pipe". This is supposed to make people think differently and that was when we began to look at Semiotics (study of images) and Representation. We looked at examples of this through images and their meanings. After that we looked at Signifier (the thing itself) and signified (the reaction to the thing) Then we looked at Denotation (to list) and Connotation (complex observations), which in my opinion was very repetative and boring (No offence, Chris)
