In this lecture, we were firstly introduced and shown the topics that we were going to be covering over the course of this term. To make sure I had an idea of what topic we would be covering each week, I decided to create a plan by writing down each topic and the week that we will be focusing on this.

- Recap, Summary consolidation.
In this lecture we firstly were told about Modernism and Postmodernism and what they mean, I found that this really helped, as I was able to recap on what I had learnt last year about these two topics. I found that Modernism is a type of movement of art that removes classical and traditional forms, we also found that Postmodernism was a mixture of characteristics, that uses early styles of artwork by using different artists and styles. We were then told about Liquid Modernity, which is a characterisation of highly developed societies that are global.
Once we had looked at these points we then talked about images and encountering an image can do something to you and next to accademia is horror. This is because it tries to position a text and look at a piece known theist, process-relational approach. We found that when writing a piece of text, we keep writing, rewriting and referencing other peoples work. Everything we create is a process (creative ways), creating something new. This tells us how we think about everything as an argument.
We then talked about Semiotics, we were told that the we will be looking into three versions of semiotics. Semiotics is the production of signs and conservative semiotics is the version that the designers are most interested in. The final part that we talked about in this lecture was about a German Philosopher called Immanuel Kant, who was born in 1724 on the 22nd April and died on the 12th February 1804 in Konigsburg, Germany. We were told that he argued that the fundamental concepts of the human mind structure human experience, we found that his reason for this was Molarity.
I found that this lecture was good, as we were able to recap a little on what we learnt last term and we were able to understand what topics we will will be covering in this term.
